The Svaartaron MUV is a family of minitrucks and microvans produced by the Ottonian automaker Svaartaron. The line has been produced continuously since 1960 over ### generations.
Like many Svaartaron vehicles, the MUV carries a reputation for reliability and ease of repair, and as such they are popular among tradesmen, small business owners, and small farmers, and, in the case of the van variant, taxi fleets. The MUV is classified under Ottonian law as a Light Truck, granting buyers tax benefits and allowing it to take advantage of more lax municipal and federal parking and traffic regulations. Additionally, it is also manufactured in variants with shortened bumpers and, along with its base engine, is compliant with Daitoan kei standards.
Outside of North Ottonia, they are marketed and sold through the Ottonian Motor Cooperative's Otmo marque alongside the similar SEDA Poni as the Otmo Move. Domestically, they compete against the similar Vulksmotor Haul and SEDA Poni, although since 1998, the latter is a rebadged version of the MUV.
Development
After a decade of post-Revolution auto sales and development, Svaartaron had determined that marketshare was being lost to burgeoning competitors at Vulksmotor and SEDA due to the successful L-Ute mostly being preferred by government buyers and those who had to contend with bad or insufficient roads. In more developed spaces, the L-Ute was often unfavorably compared to the more space-efficient Vulksmotor Haul and the SEDA Poni, due to its longer hood and smaller bed. Seeking to rectify this, designer Jord Farrangur was tasked in 1956 with designing a more space- and fuel-efficient light truck for Svaartaron's expanding line.
First Generation
The first fruits of Farrangur and his workshop's efforts rolled off the assembly line in 1960. The initial run of the vehicle was a semi-cabover layout truck with a 4-stroke, 388 cc straight-three engine. The vehicle could only initially achieve a top speed of 70 km/h, something it shared with the L-Ute (along with the engine itself).
The
