The story

Built to replace the Żuk, this Polish van took 17 years to reach production. Minibus derivatives joined the range, while its badges ran from FS and Daewoo through Andoria and Intrall to DZT and Honker.15

  1. 1976

    17 years from design to production

    Work began on the Żuk replacement in 1976; funding problems delayed its production debut until October 15, 1993.1

  2. 1993

    Lublin 33 finally enters production

    Chassis-cabs launched October 15 at 2,900 kg gross; fiberglass bodies preceded the steel van's mass-production start in September 1996.15

  3. 1997

    15,754 built, 3,543 exported

    Lublin II gained 510 changes, a Polonez-style dash and front discs. Assembly: Craiova 1996–2001; Avia 1997–1999.15

  4. 1999

    Lublin 3 adopts Kia's gearbox

    Rust protection improved and Tczew's gearbox became optional. The planned LD-100 replacement ultimately emerged as the LDV Maxus.156

  5. 2002

    Andoria restarts the bankrupt factory

    Andoria restarted on April 4 after Daewoo's 2001 bankruptcy. Intrall resumed production in 2004, when SKD assembly began at Unison near Minsk.125

  6. 2005

    Round lamps for the Intrall 3Mi

    Production began in March with round lamps. The 2.8-liter Iveco option delivered 290 Nm, paired with an Iveco five-speed.1

  7. 2007

    Lubo stalls; Intrall goes bankrupt

    Intrall's Lubo replacement never reached series production; bankruptcy also stopped Lublin output.157

  8. 2011

    DZT revives the line as Pasagon

    Series production restarted January 3. A 2.6-liter common-rail Andoria ADCR supplied 250 Nm; the name changed to Honker Cargo in 2012.58

  9. 2013

    The line ends after 20 years

    Production ended without a successor. About 150 Pasagon/Honker vehicles were built in 2011–2013, only 20 with the redesigned nose.5

How to spot one

Look for

  • Lublin 3 has large indicators beside the headlights; earlier cars have small ones underneath.15
  • Lublin 3Mi has round headlights; vans, Combis and minibuses also get round taillights.1
  • Restyled Pasagon continuations have a longer, bulging nose.16
  • Badges include Daewoo, Andoria and Intrall; Lublin 3Mi was also sold abroad as Intrall L3.15
  • Production vans have sliding side doors; the similar Nysa 325 prototype used hinged doors.7

Year by year

  1. 1996–1997

    Steel integral vans reach volume production in September 1996; high-roof versions follow in early 1997.1

  2. 1997

    Lublin II brings a new grille, front bumper and wiper arms.1

  3. 2002–2004

    Black Andoria badges replace Daewoo logos in 2002; Intrall logos follow in 2004.1

  4. 2005

    Lublin 3Mi introduces round headlights; vans, Combis and minibuses also gain round taillights.1

  5. 2011–2013

    Pasagon gains a longer nose; the Honker rename in 2012 does not guarantee it, since many kept Lublin 3Mi cabs.516

Don’t confuse it with

  • Żuk

    Look for the Żuk's wide horizontal body channels and completely flat windshield.18

  • Nysa 325 prototype

    Its hinged side door and four front lamps distinguish it from early production Lublin vans.717
