BMW 3/15 PS DA 2 express delivery van

In an era when tradesmen still delivered their goods by bicycle, carts or motorised three-wheelers, the BMW express delivery van represented a significant advance. The name of the enterprise and graphic designs could also be affixed on the bodywork for promotional purposes. The main aim was to offer businesses a fast but cost-effective delivery van which enabled them to expand their customer service. The baggage compartment offered plenty of stowage space and larger items could be attached to the roof rails. The payload of 265 kg was astonishingly large for a small vehicle. The post office (Reichspost) also had a fleet of these small express delivery vans.
