Goliath was based inBremen and specialized inthree-wheeler cars and trucks and medium-sized cars. Their vehicles were sold under the Goliath brand.
The first models were three-wheeler trucks derived from the motorcycle basedBlitzkarren,Goliath Rapid, andStandard previously built by Borgward.

These were front-wheel-drive two-door sedans, station wagons and coupes.
From 1958, the Goliath 1100 models were sold under the brandHansa; the Borgward group wanted to downplay the two-stroke engine and three-wheeler image.
Three years later, in 1961, the Borgward group collapsed.
