The Borgward B 611 is a light commercial vehicle built by Borgward at their Bremen factory between 1957 and 1961. The nominal payload at launch was 1,5 (metric) tons. The vehicle was offered as a light van, a minibus (with rear seats and more windows) or as a platform wagon (Pritschenwagen), although several other body styles were available either directly from the manufacturer or from specialist body manufacturers.
The van was launched in 1957 with the name Borgward B 1500 F. The suffix "F" stood for "Frontlenker-Transporter", and referred to a design feature that was a first for Borgward,[4] where the driver was positioned right at the front of the vehicle instead of behind a hood with an engine underneath. The engine was installed in a large pod between the driver and his passenger. Where three seats were used in the driver's compartment, the middle passenger sat on top of the engine cabin. According to most sources, it was not until 1959 that the vehicle was given the name by which it is more remembered today, Borgward B 611. the driver and his passenger, was a four-cylinder four-stroke water-cooled engine. Buyers of the B 611 could choose between a 1493 cc petrol/petrol engine delivering up to 60 hp (45 kW) and a 1758 cc diesel engine with a maximum power of only 42 hp (31 kW), but in combination with superior fuel economy.[5] The petrol/gasoline unit was shared with the Borgward Isabella which had been introduced a few years earlier. However, the gear ratios were not. The B 611 came with a four-speed fully synchronized manual gear change, operated by a column-mounted lever. Claimed top speed was 92 km/h (58 mph) for a petrol/gasoline powered van and a more leisurely 75 km/h (47 mph) for buyers selecting the diesel engine.
The B ​​611 stood on a steel chassis with ladder frame and transverse reinforcement bars. At the front, independent suspension used side-mounted wishbones with coil springs. A rigid "swing" axle was suspended at the rear with longitudinally mounted leaf springs. The engine, clutch, transmission, radiator and front suspension were all supported by an additional subframe. With a wide comfortable cabin that seats three people and uses uncomplicated technology, the Borgward 611 won friends in the press and on the market. By the time of Borgward's controversial bankruptcy in 1961, the manufacturer had produced 14.748 of them.
