Little MAN brother of the Braunegger Pausbacke

Introducing the little brother of the Pausbacke, which the Braunegger forwarding company relied on in the sixties. Its exceptional manoeuvrability made the MAN 415 the vehicle of choice for local distribution trips in and around Leverkusen and for the reliable supply to business customers as a forwarding vehicle in the service of Deutsche Bahn.

The fact that the Braunegger forwarding company managed to turn heads on the road with the flashy contrasting colour combination is brought out clearly today in WIKINGs highly accurate 1:87-scale miniature version of the vehicle. Already familiar with the previously released Pausbacke, fans of the brand can now add to their collection a duo of the two originals from Leverkusen.

The motto of the forwarders in the sixties was be bold and embrace colour as they had the confidence to create an eye-catching effect. This was also to the benefit of MAN and Büssing, the two brands the Braunegger forwarding company preferred for their fleet of vehicles.

Year manufacture 1960-67
