VIDEO: Moving history. Tatra trucks are heading to the new museum

The seventy-year-old Tatra 128 was the first car parked on Tuesday in the large hall of the new Tatra Truck Museum in Kopřivnice. Gradually, more will be added to it in April, from the oldest NW type K car in a firefighting design from 1910 to the current Phoenix model from the current production of the Kopřivnice car manufacturer.

But people will still wait for the museum to open, it is not planned until this autumn.

“One of the main reasons why this museum was established is that Tatra manufactures trucks, but has nowhere to present them. Some of them were on display in the existing Tatra Kopřivnice Technical Museum, but this does not have sufficient space capacity, “said Lukáš Filip, head of the new museum, which falls under the Museum of the Novojičín Region.

At the turn of 2015 and 2016, a study of the reconstruction of the hall of the former foundry into a new exhibition space was born. At that time, Tatra also bought a part of the private collection of the collector Jiří Hlach, which contained over forty cars from the Kopřivnice car manufacturer.

Together with trucks from the existing Tatra Technical Museum, they thus form the basis of a new exhibition.

“Hlach’s collection contains a number of important historical models, thanks to which we can well capture the typological development of this brand in the new exhibition,” explained Filip.

However, the oldest exhibit will be a carriage, because the founder of the local tradition, Ignác Šustala, started with them.

“Then there was the wagon tradition , but it did not fit us, so we will continue with the oldest trucks from the first decades of the last century. There will be thematic sections: fire trucks, various important types such as 111, 138, 148, 805, which were produced in large quantities, then there will be expedition vehicles or competition cars for the Dakar. We try to capture everything important that is associated with Tatra trucks and their development, “said Filip.

Some of the exhibits had to be restored before the exhibition.

“Somewhere it was a small adjustment, somewhere it was more complicated. It is interesting that most of the Tatra trucks, which were in the technical museum and which have not been driven for decades, managed to start for the first time. It was enough for the men from the factory to come, plug in new flashlights, turn the key and in most cars the engine immediately started, “said Filip.

The extension for visitors will be currently prepared interactive elements. ”Our goal is to follow the standard of European museums of the 21st century so that we can draw visitors deeper into the whole issue through interactive applications,” explained the director of the Museum of the Novojičín Region, Zdeněk Orlita.

For example, people will be able to use their smartphones to learn more about some of the exhibits.

“Thanks to this, it will be possible to look into the interior of cars, for example, which the visitor would not normally get into. The application will thus allow a much more detailed penetration into the exhibit than would be possible in real life. We are able to cover any detail with augmented reality, including, for example, the operation of the engine or the display of construction plans and drawings of cars, “Orlita explained.

We are also waiting for the Slovak Missile

He reminded that the museum will also install a collection of historic motorcycles, which was donated to the region by academic sculptor Miroslav Rybička, a lifelong collector of these machines.

The main investor of the new museum is the Moravian-Silesian Region. ”We took care of the reconstruction of the hall and interior equipment, but most of the exhibits belong to Tatra Trucks, which also takes care of their restoration,” said Lukáš Curylo, Deputy Regional Governor.

The city of Kopřivnice is also involved in the project, which takes care of the construction of access roads and parking lots.

“Originally, we expected the museum to open this spring or early summer. Due to the fact that the development and testing of interactive elements is waiting to be completed, we expect to open it sometime in September, “added Curylo. The budget for the construction of the museum reached almost 173 million crowns, of which 111 million are subsidies from the European Union.

One of the last exhibits that is still awaited is the listed motor train Slovenská strela, which has undergone a complete renovation in the past two and a half years .

“Now tests are underway, which require a range of about 600 kilometers, so that the Slovak missile can be routinely operated on lines in our country and abroad. We are also counting on her trips from the depository on various festive occasions, “said Pavel Lazar, CEO of Tatra Trucks.

On December 22, the company Morys, s.r.o. handed over to the investor – the Moravian-Silesian Region – the construction of the building of the new Tatra Truck Museum. But it’s not the end. On the contrary, the museum still have a lot of work to do with the new exhibition and they hope they will be able to do it all. And – of course – they also want 2021 to be much better and more normal than the ending one.

The other Slovenska Strela

no comment Posted by smitkees
The origin of Slovenská Strela is described by experts in relatively detail, and if we grind it on the net, we get enough information about this great vehicle from the Kopřivnice Tatras, which confirms us in the general opinion that it was an exceptional, really functional and reliable vehicle. One of the two vehicles produced, the M290.002, which is a National Cultural Monument, has undergone a thorough renovation in the last two years, and soon there will be a time when it will again run on its own tracks and anchor in the newly built pavilion in Kopřivnice, prepared by Tatra. Trucks as
The second M290.001 vehicle, which no longer exists today, was not so lucky. After the end of operation, the vehicle became a source of spare parts for the car M290.002, so that eventually, demolished and abandoned burned on the parking track. And the fact that the M290.001 was not easy during operation is proved by the picture after the accident of this vehicle. Significant damage to the front occurred as a result of a collision with a truck near Modřice in May 1938. The surviving document describes that after the accident on 31 May 1938, the car was brought to Kopřivnice for repair, where a record of the extent of damage was made and a procedure was proposed. repairs. All damage is thoroughly defined in the document as well as the repair procedure. In total, it was about 4.5 m2 of damaged area and other partial damage, which was addressed within the whole. At the time of the accident, Strela 001 had driven 230,432 km. Proof of quality damage removal is the fact that Strela 001 returned to the track on September 23, 1938 and was in operation until 1953.

Slovenska Strela ready after two years of renovation, but………. VIDEO

SLOVAK SHOT – An unexpected technical defect thwarted the arrival of the national technical monument‼ ️
The ceremonial event was to take place today on the occasion of the arrival of the motor car M290.002 after two years of renovation in the new pavilion in Kopřivnice????
After completing all renovations, the missile was assembled and subjected to operational tests, which are to confirm that it will be able to repeat safe operation, even when reaching a maximum design speed of 130 km / h. Unfortunately, during Sunday’s test, the rubber, so-called Hardy couplings were damaged, which ensure a flexible connection of coaxial shafts, transmitting torque from the drive units to the chassis
Due to the fact that it is a historical exhibit, using today’s not commonly used design solutions, thorough operational tests are the only way to prevent possible future failures.
The repair will take several weeks.
However, all evil may be good for something. Due to the current situation with coronavirus, the event would be very intimate only with invited guests, as the limit of persons according to government regulations is only 5️⃣0️⃣
The new date of arrival has not yet been set, but it will be the turn of February and March 2021. We firmly believe that public participation will take place on this date and it will be a dignified event that this unique hybrid motor train deserves????
Thank you all for your understanding and we will inform you about further details

However, all evil may be good for something. Due to the current situation with coronavirus, the event would be very intimate only with invited guests, as the limit of persons according to government regulations is only 5️⃣0️⃣

The new date of arrival has not yet been set, but it will be the turn of February and March 2021. We firmly believe that public participation will take place on this date and it will be a dignified event that this unique hybrid motor train deserves????
