In 1977 Daimler-Benz introduced a new van/truck (a.k.a. transporter), called Mercedes-Benz T1 internally. Other designations were series TN ("Transporter Neu") and Bremer Transporter, since the vehicle was built in the Transporter-Plant in Bremen, Germany, first. In the years 1983/1984 production went - piece by piece - to the Transporter-Plant-Düsseldorf (city in the Rhineland, Germany). The internal chassis-designations (Baumuster, "BM") are: 601 (2.55–2.8t GVWR), 602 (3.2–3.5t GVWR) and 611 (4.6t GVWR).[3]
