Magirus Mercur
The Magirus Mercur is a German 5 ton truck that was built by Magirus Deutz in Germany from 1951 to 1972. Other series from this manufacturer were also named after stars and planets, possibly because of the "sun and planet" gears at the rear axle. Increasingly heavy trucks were named Magirus Sirius, Mercur, Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus. The trucks were equipped with different variations of air cooled Diesel engines, from 4R to V12. The initially round hood ("Rundhauber") that inspired from the Volkswagen Beetle was eventually changed to a square design ("Eckhauber") in all wheel drive models to facilitate body flexing off road. The round hood was ultimately discontinued. . Specifications In 1964 the "Mercur 125 (A)" and Mercur 150 (A)" models were re-branded as 125 D 10 (A) and 150 D 10 (A). The numbers 125 and 150 referred to the horse power rating of the V6 engines; the 10 to the total gross weight of the vehicle. An optional designation was "A" for "Allrad" (All Wheel Driv ...
