History
It all started on September 25, 1941, when the Spanish regime created the Instituto Nacional de Industria (INI) in order to face the problems of transport, defense and others. In 1946, the Technical Centre for the Study of the Automobile (CETA), created by engineer Vilfredo Ricart , was commissioned to develop a diesel truck 7/8 tons. At the same time, the INI was created Automobile Technical Council and all this was the origin ENASA, the company had manufactured the truck. On 26 June 1946 the company was established with a registered capital of 240 million pesetas of the time, and through the INI was forced sale of the old Hispano Suiza , located Sagrera ( the current Park Pegasus). ENASA took charge of personnel and facilities, taking advantage of the popularity it had in passing the old company.
And thus was born the Pegasus, which was very similar to the Hispano Suiza 66d, followed by Diesel Pegasus (Pegasus II) around 1949, and then the Z-206 engine with a six-cylinder 100 mm in diameter 120mm race, which gave 120 hp at 1,800 rpm, and an eight-speed gearbox, although subsequently it increased the power to 140 hp. This model was known by the nickname “Mofletes “(” cheeks “). Based on these mechanics also appeared a coach with a curious body. This type of engine architecture, together with direct injection that was followed in the construction of the Pegasus engines.
