Robur LO 3000 - German analogue of the Soviet "Pazik"

Soviet buses, used in rural areas, were not distinguished by their diversity. These were PAZ and LAZ, and in some cases also models on the chassis of the GAZ-53 trucks. All of the above-mentioned vehicles were not particularly comfortable, but the villagers and their guests were not upset. At least they had connections with other villages and regional centers. The buses had high cross-country ability, especially for models on the chassis trucks Gorky Automobile Plant. Their differences are ground clearance. However, LAZ and PAZ also had good ground clearance. But in muddy conditions this did not always help. Often the driver and passengers had to push the stuck equipment out.

But Germany also had a "Pazik". This is Robur LO 3000. It was created according to the canons of Soviet reality - on the chassis of a serial truck. In the USSR, these cars from the GDR were extremely rare - but some still remember them. They say that the bus had good cross-country ability. But its gasoline engine was air-cooled, like the "Zaporozhets". This did not go well with the hot Soviet summer. As well as with the sharp increase in passenger traffic of those eager to leave the stuffy cities during the season. Robur LO 3000 was used in the USSR by more institutions, to deliver employees to strategic facilities. Often to the same villages, but closer to autumn. And the author of the channel "Ivan Zenkevich PRO" will tell about the bus from the GDR cars».
