The Multicar 24 was manufactured in the VEB Fahrzeugwerk Waltershausen in the GDR starting in 1974. Initially equipped only with a single-seat cab, customer demands led to the further development of the M24-0 with a two-seat cab in 1977. Compared to its predecessor, the M22, it was now equipped with a much more powerful, newly developed four-cylinder, four-stroke swirl-chamber diesel engine from Motorenwerk Cunewalde with 45 hp and water cooling. Thanks to a likewise new torsionally soft steel profile frame with a standardized hole pattern for the superstructures, a large number of variants were possible, e.g. flatbed vehicle, three-way tipper, dump truck, high-sided tipper, turntable ladder vehicle, collection container vehicle, box vehicle and many more. The vehicle was built until 1978 in a quantity of 25659 units with an export quota of 48 percent until it was replaced by the Multicar 25.
