Phänno, Ello und Co. - Phänomen, Granit, Garant, Robur 1949-1990

In the Phänomen works of the founding Hiller family in Zittau, which were expropriated in 1946, trucks were produced again from 1950, initially under the name Phänomen Granit. But soon after, the brand name "Robur" was introduced. With it, the Robur LO 2500, introduced in 1961, became a legend.
The largest variant of the cab-over-engine truck was the three-ton LO 3000, introduced in 1974. The "Ello" continued to be built more or less unchanged until the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In the course of German reunification, there was no chance of Robur continuing commercial vehicle production; repair orders and modernizations were later carried out in Zittau.
