Güldner G15 - G45




After the end of the Fahr collaboration, Güldner quickly developed a new range, the G series, which also featured new modular, air-cooled engines. Both the cylinder bore and stroke were 100 mm, meaning the engines were short-stroke. The increase in torque was modest, but otherwise, the engines were sophisticated. All Güldners were now red.
The first 3-cylinder model of the G series was the G 40 Toledo (36 hp), introduced in 1962. The ZF transmissions had 8+4 gears with shift levers on the dashboard. There were 20 km/h and 30 km/h speed options, the faster known as the S model. The lifting capacity was clearly higher than before, and draft sensing was standard. A four-wheel drive version of the G 40 was also introduced a year later. Its ZF front axle had the driveshaft on the left side of the engine. Thanks to a multi-plate clutch, the four-wheel drive could be engaged on the move. There was also a 1076 mm wide vineyard version of the G 40.
In 1963, the smaller G 25 and G 30 were introduced. The only 2-cylinder model in the range, the G 25, had 24 hp, while the 3-cylinder G 30 had 32 hp. Other features, such as shift levers placed under the steering wheel, were the same as the larger models. The G 30 corresponded to the larger G 40 in terms of wheelbase and engine size, but its engine speed was lower. With a production total of 8,800 units, the G 30 was the best-selling model in the range.
In 1965, the G 15 was added to the range, which was the old A 2 KS Spessart with minor modifications. It had new steering and a front grille matching the G series. Power was 15 hp.
Another 1965 new model was the 4-cylinder, 45-horsepower G 45. In 1967, the 35-horsepower, 3-cylinder G 35 (35 hp) was introduced. It was the smallest Güldner model available with four-wheel drive.
