History and characteristics of the Pegaso Ekus

The Pegaso Ekus was one of the most successful models of industrial trucks from the Pegaso brand, a distinguished Spanish manufacturer of industrial vehicles from 1946 until its integration into Iveco in the 1990s. Introduced in the mid-1980s, the Ekus stood out for its robustness, reliability, and versatility, establishing itself as a benchmark in heavy and liquid transportation.

In this replica, the version used for the distribution of Repsol Butano, the famous Spanish company dedicated to the commercialization of liquefied gas, is represented. The truck in orange and white colors faithfully reflects Repsol's corporate image at that time, bringing nostalgic value for those who lived through the golden era of Spanish transportation.

Curiosities and historical value

The Pegaso Ekus was one of the pillars of industrial transportation in Spain during the 80s and 90s, and the collaboration with Repsol for butane transport was crucial for the expansion of this gas's use in homes and businesses. This truck is not only a symbol of a successful industrial model, but also a witness to the evolution of energy supply in Spain.

The “Repsol Butano” truck from 1988 is, therefore, a classic that fascinates not only for its design but also for the essential role it played in the Spanish economy and daily life.
