The Star 1466 is a tri-axle (6x6) truck in service with the Polish Armed Forces. Produced by Star Trucks (later MAN Star Trucks & Buses), the truck was designed as a replacement for the Star 266, which was phased out of production in 2000. The truck was produced between 2001 and 2006, after which it was succeeded by the Star 1444. [1] [2]
The truck, first shown in 1999, utilized MAN components, like crew cab and engine. The same year MAN became an owner of Star Trucks. As a result of MAN policy to gather truck construction in Steyr works, in 2006 it was decided to stop truck manufacturing in Starachowice and this put an end to Polish-designed Star 1466. [3]
Polish Army ordered only small quantities of these trucks – 75 were delivered in 2000-2007. [4]
