Tatra

There are not many car manufacturers whose roots go back as far as TATRA. The TATRA brand first appeared in 1919 on vehicles from Koprivnice, on the TL 4 lorry after load and brake tests were carried out in the Tatra Mountains. TATRA was then created in 1924 through the merger of the Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriks-Gesellschaft (founded in 1850) with the Ringhoffer AG wagon factory in Prague-Smíchov (Czech Republic). The name TATRA was registered as a trade mark in 1934. TATRA is one of the four oldest existing manufacturers of motor vehicles in the world. Today, TATRA belongs to the Czechoslovak Group.
