The TAM 4500 (later TAM 5000) was the first modern truck from the TAM factory in Maribor. With these vehicles, Yugoslavia was rebuilt after the Second World War. It is a product licensed from Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz. Production in Maribor was started only two years later than in Germany. The trucks were powered by four-cylinder air-cooled in-line 5.3 liter diesel engines with a vortex chamber, and they reached a maximum power of 85 hp (63 kW - JUS) at 2,300 rpm. This truck in a 4 × 4 configuration became the base vehicle in the Yugoslav Army. The one we rode was thoroughly restored and is practically in factory condition.
