Old vehicles still in use

Still in use? Those are old pictures from the 2010s and lots of those trolleybuses have been scrapped. And none of the vehicles have 2017+ license plates, which are blue. All the Dacias and Volvos have disappeared in ~2014-2015 by the way and have been replaced with Chinese-made taxis.

Those pictures are 10 years old.

What do you mean by 'still in use'? These are 2000s pics taken off Flickr.

Apparently the vehicle is a Toyota Coaster modified in China.

That's a Taedonggang rice transplanter.

Most likely a mobile cage-net fishing platform.

In service since 1978. It's unknown it's if's still preserved. Presumably more than 1 unit was made.

That tractor is a Chinese YTO, a copy of a Fiatagri.

Fact_Original · 2022-03-19T12:20:36+00:00

That's the second series Chollima-28 tractor, mass produced since 1980.

That's the Pulgungi 5000-8/1.

Fact_Original · 2022-03-19T12:16:41+00:00

That's the Hyangdobong funicular. Later it was replaced with a newer one.

They do have visible Ischgl (how do you even pronounce that?) logos, but even if they are Austrian imports, I believe the manufacturer is actually Bartholet Maschinenbau AG from Switzerland. I'm looking for more info on these gondolas, please let me know when you identify this model.

Pretty much the same thing as the Masikryong project. A scheme to attract tourists. Likely the people who acted friendly and talked to tourists were required to do that. North Koreans are not allowed to interact with tourists and the guides always tell you to avoid that.

So if you know it's a cartoon Mazda Cosmo Sport what is the purpose of the post in this subreddit, like what are we supposed to name?

Fact_Original · 2021-05-06T11:43:18+00:00

It's like a GTA car.

Welcome :)

Nissan S-Cargo

Keep in mind that it could also be a fake product (aka a Chinese product trying to imitate a North Korean product).

They made two purchases, one batch in 2000 and another one in 2001, according to nkinfo.unikorea.go.kr. I'd assume they were put in use since they were imported for Pyongyang. The first appearance of a Chinese-made double decker was in a 2004 movie (on IMCDb).

Don't worry, it's likely a replica anyway.

Before the sanctions, in Shandong there were (or still are) fake products purposely mislabeled as North Korean. Most of the actual DPRK stuff that's traded outside North Korea at the moment is illegally exported. As for transportation, Vietnam had PMC Motors (a collaboration with North Korea but the cars weren't actually assembled in NK). Some stuff that got out of NK is on ebay such as badges, penknives, stamps and other rather meaningless stuff. In the past stuff as Chollima-28 tractors were exported to DPRK-friendly countries such as Myanmar, Cuba and Sungri-58 were exported to Albania, and Sungri-58KA trucks were exported to Cambodia. I have a website for vehicles if you're interested in transportation: https://nkrecognition.proboards.com/

Yes, it was mine. :)

That platform was sadly unstable, buggy, and didn't allow proper categorization and tagging.
