The Polish Van That Refused to Die | FSC Żuk

For nearly 40 years, Poland kept building a van whose roots went all the way back to the 1950s. Meet the FSC Żuk — a simple, affordable workhorse that became a familiar sight on Polish roads and far beyond. Based on the mechanical foundations of the Warszawa, the Żuk was exported across the Eastern Bloc and even found a second life in Egypt under the name Ramses. Meanwhile, Polish engineers spent decades trying to develop its replacement, only to see one project after another fail. In this documentary, we'll explore the fascinating history of the FSC Żuk, from its origins in Lublin to its final days in 1998. How did such an outdated vehicle survive the fall of socialism, fierce competition from Western vans, and even the arrival of its own successor?
