Škoda 1203
The Škoda 1203, Škoda 1203 M, TAZ-Š 1203 and TAZ 1500 were the only Czech/Czechoslovak van cars ever produced. They were manufactured from 1968 to 1997 in Vrchlabí and Trnava by AZV Škoda and TAZ. The vehicle was also manufactured in small-scale production in 1994-2010 by Ocelot Auto in Žacléř. Around 70,000 cars were produced.
The first plans for production were drawn up in 1956. Inability to secure suppliers of parts and accessories in Czechoslovakia were the reason the production was delayed until 1968. The Škoda 1202 serves as the technical basis of the vehicle. There were several modifications during the production run, most of which had to do with the engine. The car lasted for over thirty years without major structural interventions in production, and contributed significantly to the development of small businesses after 1989.Gallery
