Some original Hungarian car production at the beginning of the 20th century was lost.Hungary widely imported cars and trucks from theSoviet Union and some other countries of theEastern Bloc under theCold War. At the same time Hungary produced a small number of heavy trucks (Rába) and had strong specialisation in the Eastern Bloc in manufacturing of buses (Ikarus), that made it one of the largest bus producers and exporters (including outside of the Eastern Bloc and Europe).
