About

Trabant, often referred to as the Trabi, was a brand of cars produced in East Germany from 1957 to 1991. The Trabant is notable for being one of the most iconic vehicles associated with the former East Germany and has gained a certain nostalgic charm over the years. Trabant cars were manufactured by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau, and they became a symbol of affordable transportation in East Germany. The Trabant's design and construction were relatively simple, using a two-stroke engine and a body made of a composite material called Duroplast, which was derived from cotton waste and resin. The use of Duroplast gave the Trabant a distinct appearance and lightweight construction.
