The Mercedes-Benz L 206, commonly known as the Harburger Transporter, was a series of light commercial vehicles sold under the Tempo, Hanomag, Hanomag-Henschel and finally Mercedes-Benz brands. It grew out of the Matador of the Tempo-Werk in Hamburg-Harburg, was built from 1966 as a Rheinstahl-Hanomag model, and became a Mercedes-Benz when Daimler-Benz acquired Hanomag-Henschel in 1970, as the L 206 D, L 207, L 306 D and L 307. It had front-wheel drive, a two-tube chassis and a low flat loading floor, with diesel and petrol engines and minibus, panel van and pickup bodies. Production never reached the level of the Volkswagen Transporter or the Ford Transit, and Mercedes-Benz built it until 1977, when the rear-wheel-drive T 1 succeeded it.
