Low-lift truck - the legend of the transporter set the pace
The demand for furniture and large appliances was enormous right after the 1948 currency reform - the Tempo Matador provided a remedy the following year. Especially with the low platform, it was easy for craftsmen, traders and freight forwarders to ensure door-to-door transport. WIKING presents the Tempo Matador in a contemporary, two-tone design. The Tempo Matador in particular has a beautiful, typical WIKING story: when the model builders produced the 1:50 advertising model for Tempo Vidal around 70 years ago, WIKING served the needs of the manufacturer with a demonstration model for mobilizing customers. The simple transporter never achieved the cult appreciation of a VW T1 in its prototype, but WIKING is setting a model-making monument to the long-standing high-speed truck for precisely this reason: The Tempo Matador with the single cabin appears as the “quiet hero” of the economic miracle. The Tempo Matador was also highly valued with the low-level platform because it was predestined for typical transport tasks. The Matador is still considered a transporter legend to this day, because in the post-war years, thousands of companies were rapidly on the way to an economic upswing.
