Honker (initially known as Tarpan Honker) is a Polish multi-purpose all-terrain pick-up truck. Created in 1984, it is still in production in a variety of models. It is best known as the light truck used by the Polish Army both at home and in Iraq. Apart from the army and police forces, the company to own the largest number of Honkers is the KGHM company, which uses them for transport of mineworkers underground. The prototype of the Honker was created in 1984 in the Farming Vehicles Works (FSR) in Poznań. Based on the earlier design of the Tarpan car, it was to replace it as the basic Polish-made pick-up truck in public service. However, it was not until 1988 that the serial production was started. In late 1996 the design was bought by the Daewoo Motor Polska company, who decided to continue the production in Lublin. After the bankruptcy of Daewoo the license was inherited by two companies. Andoria-Mot continued the production in small numbers and in 2003 created two modernized versions, both in a hard-top pick-up combination. The other was Intrall Polska, which in 2004 created another offspring, the off-road car Honker MAX. In addition, in 2004 the Honker saw yet another modification: an all-armoured heavier version Honker Skorpion was created specifically for the Polish Army forces in Iraq.
