The body was made from reinforced
glass fibre. It was intended to be exported mainly to France where no driving licence was needed to drive that category of vehicles. The company's profile was agricultural machinery building and did not survive the political-economical transition of Hungary
to a market economy at the end of the 1980s.
The electric version was produced in 1991 under the name Puli Pinguin 4.
In 2006 the Puli returned under the ownership of Prokop Gábor. Prokop holds Puli and
Wartburg
trade marks.
