Opel Blitz

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

Opel Blitz, Blitz being German for lightning, was the name given to various light and middleweight trucks built by the German Opel automobile manufacturer between 1930 and 1975. The Blitz name was then applied to the British-made Bedford CF when it replaced the Blitz in certain markets. The original logo for this truck, two stripes arranged loosely like a lightning symbol in the form of a horizontally stretched letter Z, still appears in the current Opel logo. During the years preceding World War II, Opel was Germany's largest truck producer.
