Product Description
[#11019 Daimler Marienfelde DR 4.5(D, 1917)]
- The outbreak of World War I in 1914 did not stop Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft from developing trucks, and by 1917 the Berlin branch offered three different types.
- The smallest truck was the DC 3, a three-ton model with a 33 horsepower engine.
- The larger DR 4.5d was produced in two versions, designated as a 4 to 5 tonne truck.
- The DR 4.5d model was equipped with a 7.2-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 45 horsepower at an ultra-low 800 rpm.
- The overall weakness of the truck's motorization made it clear how much the engineers struggled with this issue in driving performance.
- Daimler has specified a top speed of 16km/h for the DR4.5d series!
- According to the brochure, the DR4.5 was still capable of handling gradients of up to 25%.
- After the end of World War I, the DR model series was improved in 1922.
- The wheelbase was revised, engine power was increased to 50 PS, and with the 55 PS drivetrain the top speed reached 21 km/h.
- In 1926, the last DR truck left the factory and the model series was replaced by a new generation called [L 2].
