Founded in 1850 as Ignatz Schustala & Cie, Tatra is a Czech vehicle manufacturer from Kopřivnice. Owned by the Tatra Trucks company, it is the third oldest company in the world producing motor vehicles with an unbroken history. Today, Tatra's production focuses on heavy, off-road trucks based on its century-long development of backbone chassis, swinging half-axles, and air-cooled engines.
