A Look at the History of the EMW 340 Kombi

The EMW 340 Kombi is a real classic from the automotive history of former East Germany. Originally produced in the late 1940s and early 1950s, this vehicle represents the post-war era in Germany. The EMW 340 was a blend of everyday sedans and utility vehicles, developed in the aftermath of World War II by the Eisenach Motor Works, after it was put under Soviet management. This model was originally based on the BMW 326, the predecessor, and showed clear improvements that made it a noteworthy part of automotive history. Production of this generation took place between 1949 and 1955. Fritz Fiedler, a key engineer, played a major role in its design. Interestingly, 1949 was also the year NATO was founded and George Orwell published his famous novel "1984."

Tech Specs and Design of the Original

The EMW 340 Kombi came with a six-cylinder inline engine with a displacement of 1971 cm³ (120.9 cubic inches), producing around 55 horsepower. These features made the car pretty popular with government authorities and for lightweight transport. With a robust drivetrain and solid body structure, the EMW 340 was known for its reliability. Its iconic front design, marked by a distinctive grille and curved fenders, is a typical example of car design from that era. The styling was functional but also had a certain flair that was characteristic of vehicles from the time, like the semi-covered rear wheels and the chrome accents.
