Steyr-Daimler-Puch 230 GE – Austrian off-roader from 1991: engine of 2,290 cc and 85 kW, 3,000 kg gross vehicle weight, 1,940 kg unladen weight, 1,700 mm wide
Steyr-Daimler-Puch was an Austrian vehicle works in Graz that built the off-roader marketed as the Puch G, designated here as the 230 GE. The number 230 denotes the roughly 2.3-litre displacement, and the E the fuel injection of the petrol engine.

The engine has a displacement of 2,290 cc and produces 85 kW. At 4,620 mm long and 1,700 mm wide, the 230 GE weighs 1,940 kg unladen, with a gross vehicle weight of 3,000 kg.
The Puch G was designed as a rugged off-roader with a ladder frame and rigid axles, used both in military and official service and as a civilian vehicle for rough terrain. At a gross vehicle weight of 3,000 kg, the 230 GE stays well below the threshold for N1 light commercial vehicles and counts, in vehicle-law terms, as a passenger car or off-road vehicle.
When buying such a rugged but technically elaborate off-roader, the condition of the rigid axles, the transfer case and the differential locks matters most, as these are heavily worked under intensive off-road use. Rust on the ladder frame and the unitary body, along with the tightness of the axle boots, should also be checked carefully. A test drive should also confirm that the low-range gearing in the transfer case still engages properly and that the drive joints run without unusual noise on full steering lock.
