The Robur LO 1801 A is a forward control off-road truck, made by East German manufacturer VEB Robur-Werke Zittau. It was produced from 1965 to 1973, alongside the on-road model LO 2501. Unlike the on-road model, the LO 1801 A has all-wheel drive, which came at the cost of a reduced payload. LO 1801 A is an abbreviation for air-cooled otto, 1800 kg payload, all-wheel drive.

Like its predecessors, the LO 1801 A was used by the East German military, police, fire brigade, and open pit mining rescue service. Export versions were called Safari.[3]
