History
Marques
Vulksmotor operates three marques domestically and abroad.
Vulksmotor
The higher sales-volume Vulksmotor is geared towards the production of affordable performance vehicles; Vulksmotor cars tend to be somewhat overpowered, with some light luxuries intended for families. Although not especially expensive, vehicles produced and sold under the Vulksmotor marque are typically more expensive than the more economy-focused rival brand in Otmo, but also typically have a base model with a greater number of standard features.
Model Name | Years Produced | Size Class | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
U-SL | 1954 - present | LEV/Kei Truck/Microvan | Available as a microvan, minitruck, or mini SUV. |
Miki | 1960 - 1976 1982 - present |
LEV/Kei car/Microcar | Available in hatchback and coupe configurations. |
Urbi | 1980 - present | City Car | Successor to discontinued Spark. |
Dart | 1976 - present | Subcompact car | Successor to the discontinued Sharp. Platform shared with Urbi and Miki. |
Arrow | 1975 - present | Compact car | Successor to the discontinued Sharp. Platform shared with Javelin and Lance. |
Javelin | 1976 - present | Mid-size car | Derived from the Arrow. Successor to the discontinued Vulksmotor Star. |
Lance | 1978 - present | Full-size car | Derived from the Arrow. Successor to the discontinued Star. |
Sturdy | 1950 - present | Compact pickup/Compact Van | First Ottonian post-Revolution designed civilian vehicle. |
Reliant | 1962 - present | Mid-size pickup/Medium Van | Derived from the Sturdy. |
Challenger | 1955 - present | Full-size pickup/Full-size Van | Derived from Vulksmotor's military utility vehicles. |
Zephyr
Vulksmotor's performance-luxury marque, Zephyr, was one of Ottonia's original motor companies, founded in 1902. Zephyr struggled in the Ottonian economy that prevailed between 1935 to 1954, in which luxury and sport vehicles were in relatively low demand and the business was only kept afloat via foreign sales.
Crown
The Crown line produced by Vulksmotor is a higher-end, luxury and performance brand. Mechanically, Crown vehicles tend to be very similar to Vulksmotor-branded ones, but tend to have more luxury features, and better materials in their construction as standards. Bonus safety features also are more likely to be standard in Crown-branded vehicles.
