FN Herstal AS24 trike

Post by Cutaway on Thu 20 Mar 2008, 5:00 pm

I found this collpapsible vehicle some time ago and wanted to show all. It was used by Belgian Paratroops and used from the 1960s until around the 1980s.




The AS24 was introduced in 1960 by FN (Fabrique Nationale d' Armes de Guerre - Herstal (Liège) Belgium) for the military. It was a low riding three wheeler capable of carrying several men and equipment after being dropped by parachute.Powered by a "Type 24 FN" engine the steering wheel was easily removable and attached to the rear of the vehicle. This means a person could walk behind and steer at the same time.
