Another change of name happened in 1918 and it was then called as Koprivnicka vozovka a.s. A year after, they decided to finalize the name to Tatra, which came from the Tatra Mountains, a nearby mountain range around the company’s area.

Tatra is considered as the third oldest automobile maker in the entire world right after Peugeot and Daimler. It was in the Second World War when Tatra is famous in manufacturing tank engines and trunks for the Germans. They also build all-wheel-drive trucks in the 12×12, 10×10, 8×8, 6×6, and 4×4.

The company was founded by Ignác Šustala in Moravia. He first started with his manufacturing of horse-drawn vehicles in 1850. It was in 1891 when Sustala moved in to railroad car production. Sustala then hired Hugo Fischer von Roeslerstamm as the technical director of the company. In the unfortunate death of Sustala, Hugo took charge of the company.
