Historical Information

"X" type cargo trams were mainly used in countries such as Germany, Austria, and Russia during the interwar period and just after World War I. They enabled rapid transport of goods within cities and local industrial plants, replacing slow horse-drawn wagons. Historical photographs show these vehicles on the streets of Berlin, Prague, and Vienna—often carrying building materials, coal, or even postal deliveries. They were a key element of the expanding urban infrastructure before the widespread adoption of road freight transport.
