Hanomag Henschel
-
Yes, Hanomag-Henschel is correct. Locked for you to name the model. Pleas give an estimate of the development period.
-
F-Series 1965-67 +/-
-
No, below the F-series.
-
Harburger Transporter
-
Yes, this was to be the successor to the F 20 - F 35 series. But then the takeover by Daimler-Benz intervened.
The project already had a name. What name? It consists of a word and a two-digit number. The word is contained in your answer #22...
-
Transporter T2

"Transporter" is correct. The second part consists of two digits. "T2" would be the continuation of the Mercedes designation "T1".

Nearly...
-
71
-
The step was too big. ;)
-
70
-
Yes, the "Transporter 70" was to be the successor to the F 20 to F 35 series. There was also already a flatbed truck as a prototype. The takeover by Daimler-Benz put an end to the project for the time being.
Here is your next point.

Very similar to the Mercedes.
Yes, and there are indications that the types 601/602 from 1977 onwards are based on it.
I once had a Hanomag employee as a bedmate in hospital who told me that he had worked on the design of the dashboard.
In the mid-70s, you could regularly see only lightly camouflaged pre-production models with test drive plates in the city of Hanover. It stands to reason that the Hanomag test track in Hanover-Linden was used for practical trials.

Thank you for this testimony

Is it another Louis L. Lepoix design? It certainly looks like it.

Wendax, it's possible, but I only know Lepoix sketches for Hanomag vans, but those are front-steer. It looks like a direct development of the Tempo series.
Btw: According to Werner Oswald, the above-mentioned Mercedes transporters were actually developed at the Hanover plant.
