Great history of Tempo Hanseat in hindi


tempo-hanseatLooking for General Alcazar, Tintin and Captain Haddock ran into their old foe Dawson. Tintin decided to follow Dawson to find out what he was up to and why he was on touch with General Alcazar. In my last post we saw that Tintin followed Dawson – driven in a Jaguar Mark I – in a Panhard Dyna Taxi. The street scene depicted shows a number of vehicles which were very popular in post was Europe of the early fifties. It shows a Hanomag Tempo Matador van, the subject of my last post, a Simca Vedette/ Versailles, and, a Tempo Hanseat.

The Tempo Hanseat was developed as a cheap transport for small business men and farmers of post war Germany, an economy that had been devastated by war and split in the middle by the post war rivalry between the war allies; USA, UK and France on one side and USSR on the other. At this time, a no frills transport was required which was cheap to buy and run and did all the jobs required of it in an efficient manner. Speed was not of essence as the vehicle was mainly replacing the Horse and carriage arrangement.

tempo-hanseat_1The Hanseat was an evolution of a machine that was initially a three wheeled motorcycle with a small load bay in the front. With time, the load bay shifted to the back, but the three wheeled arrangement stayed. Though they were mainly offered and used as pick ups, but few examples of panel vans were also built. And finally, a large, in fact, very large number of them ended up ferrying people through their daily rigmarole in a warm and dusty country side thousands of kilometers away from the pristine countryside of its homeland, Germany.
