Steyr-Puch Haflinger – An Off-Road Monster from Austria

The Steyr-Puch Haflinger – built in Graz between 1959 and 1974, exported to over 100 countries, used by armies, mountain rescue teams, and farmers in the Alps. 635 kilograms. Less than 30 horsepower. And yet, one of the most capable off-road vehicles Europe has ever built. The story of an Austrian engineer, a Tatra family tradition – and a vehicle that never asked the wrong question.
