Dear all,
I'm not educated in the field of freight vehicles of pre-war Czechoslovakia, but thanks to research in the corporate archives of the VHJ ČKD Praha and in the cabin of the archive of a design office np. Praga, I had several opportunities to get acquainted with the vehicle Praga RV. So I take the liberty to enclose something of their catch. At the same time, I oppose the statement that the abbreviation "RV" means "fast military". This claim is not substantiated in me known archival materials and is in a conflict with the pragováckým system of marking of vehicles. The concept of Praga RV rather means a vehicle component of a series of "R" in the implementation of the "military". The concept of Praga RVR may refer to a "radio van", but also export the series to Romania.

The gasoline engine and the gearbox taken out of the car Praga RN. Zádní axle system Dobelhof. Concept car 6x4.

Mr. Tintěra, can it be assumed or even documented that these vehicles got into the armament of the post-war Czechoslovak Army? And if so, in what numbers and when they were discarded.

Mr. colleague,
sorry I noticed your question until now. I will present your question to my colleague Jakl from VHÚ, who once dealt with the post-war and booty technology of ČSLA.
