1951 Elektro Paketwagen Typ 2 ENO
Manufacturer - ÖAF Wien
Austrian post office experienced real boom conditions in the letters and parcels sector when the society was powerfully developing in 1950. The time was necessary to provide the delivery of parcels by suitable means of transportation.
So in 1949 numerous Elektropaketwagen – electric delivery automobiles were bought on this purpose. Their batteries were charged with cheap off-peak electricity. When running these automobiles showed major advances of an electric engine in comparison to an engine of internal combustion: after a short passed distance from one client to other the engine did not stop and was not started again, it was only switched on and switched off without any idle run. The heating of the cab was performed with the help of a radiant heater. The museum car is the last example of the similar type.
