The Framo brand, produced in Germany from 1924 to 1961, was a Saxony-based manufacturer known for compact, utilitarian vehicles designed for light commercial and passenger use. Founded as Frankenberg Motorenwerke, the company initially produced small cars and three-wheeled vehicles powered by simple two-stroke engines, later expanding into light vans and trucks. Framo vehicles were characterized by practical design, affordability, and efficient use of space, making them well suited to small businesses and urban transport. In 1957, the brand was integrated into the East German IFA organization, continuing production under new identities and securing Framo a place in early German automotive and commercial vehicle history.
