FSC Żuk

Motor vehicle

The FSC Żuk (pl. beetle) is a van produced by Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych in Lublin, Poland between 1959 and 1998. It was based on FSO Warszawa, which in turn was licensed from the Soviet passenger car GAZ-M20 Pobeda, and so was similar to a Soviet developed van, the RAF-977. The chassis, suspension and engine from FSO Warszawa formed the basis of the Żuk and the Nysa light vans designed in the late 1950s.
