The Pegaso Mofletes was the first truck range of the Spanish maker Pegaso, built from 1946 on the basis of the earlier Hispano-Suiza 66G, with a petrol engine at first and a diesel engine from 1949. It began officially as the Pegaso I, but the distinctive bulbous cab earned it the nickname Mofletes, Spanish for chubby cheeks, which it still carries. In all, 2139 units were made across its variants, besides one electric prototype, and production ended in 1959. The petrol version can be told from the diesel by its grille, with nine horizontal bars against thirteen. The petrol engine was thirsty, using more than 50 litres per 100 km, and was replaced by a more economical 125 cv diesel developed from the Hispano-Suiza design, uprated to 140 cv in 1954 when the cab was enlarged. The steering wheel sat on the right of the cab. The Z-701 tractor unit and the 1952 Z-601 electric prototype were derived from it.
