TART or TARK? Both exist on the site with similar model names, what's the difference? |

Factory/repair workshop name changed. What makes it especially confusing is many but similar name changes. Some sources have slight differences but it should be something like this: 1949-1954 Tartu Autoremonditöökoda, TART makes sense here but cant be same as next name so i dont know, TA? 1954-1955 Tartu Autoremonditehas, TART? 1955-28.01.1967 Tartu Autoremonditehas nr. 3, TART No. 3? 1967-1992 Tartu Autode Remondi Katsetehas, TARK? 1992-1997 (RAS) Tartu Autoremonditehas(some one off cars but no serial production, mainly just parts/modifications[box bodys, aluminium dropside bodys, hooklift containers, tail lifts etc]) 1997 was sold to OÜ Powertruck(just for info, vehicle manufacturing was ended long ago then) As far as I know these acronyms for factory name were not used officially(at least in Estonian). Autoremonditöökoda/Autoremonditehas acronym was usualy ART so T(artu)ART make sense and was used on badge. TARK was/is used a lot(even in booklet about factory) but its acronym for Tallinna Autode Remondi Katsetehas(this workshop made open wheel racing cars "Estonia" /vehicles_make-Estonia.html its pretty much same case, manufacturer was TARK and model/product Estonia x). Ive seen also TARKT(Tartu Autode Remondi Katsetehas) but only few times. So how we should list those trucks/buses? To be honest im not 100% sure. I imagine not many people know/care enough about this, but any recommendation/thought is welcomed Keep using TART(1949-1954)/TARK[if there is some conflict in future with Tallinn TARK we can use same name for different Make](1967-1992) and adding TART No. 3(1955-1966), for listing vehicles using model(introduction)year to choose Make? Or keep it simple(but less accurate) and use TART until 1966 and 1967+ TARK? One variant i actually like is use TA as Make and number for model but this is not used much and may cause confusion because most sources use factory name/acronyms. Also badge didnt use this. *Older badge(used until 1967) ![[Image: logo.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/361/26/logo.jpg){kind=logo} have TARTU ART(Autoremonditöökoda/Autoremonditehas) script. New badge came 1967(with name change to Tartu Autode Remondi Katsetehas). ![[Image: logo2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/361/26/logo2.jpg){kind=logo} Year for this MRS-1-52 is probably 1978+ or 1979+ 1977 test model/prototype, 1978 test batch 100pieces + 21 older vehicles overhauled, 1979 production on the assembly line Overhauling was important and expected in Soviet Union. Many smaller workshops started with it before made own models/modifications. pchetv is right not only Tartu made longer cab version trucks but also Nuia EPT and Koeru ART-2 (Autode Remonditehas nr 2). Just for info some TA models were also exported outside Soviet Union to Cuba, Afghanistan, Mongolia. -- Last edit: 2026-04-13 12:21:47 |

Seems complicated indeed  I suppose we can use TART by default, and TARK for 1967+ models indeed. A few should be updated then: /search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=2&make=TART&model= /search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=2&make=TARK&model= Or "Tartu" for all ? -- Last edit: 2026-04-13 14:59:06 |
