The LAPK is a series of trucks by Daimler-Benz (Mercedes-Benz) built from 1969 to 1974.[1][2] It was then replaced by the Mercedes-Benz NG series.
In 1968, Hanomag (acquired in 1952 by Rheinstahl) and Henschel (acquired in 1964 by Rheinstahl) truck divisions were merged into Hanomag-Henschel. In 1968 Daimler-Benz bought 51%[3][4] of the shares of Hanomag-Henschel and at the end of 1970[5] the rest 49% of the shares. Mercedes-Benz LAPK was basically re-branded Hanomag-Henschel F261 / F263 truck. It was replaced and integrated into the Mercedes-Benz NG product range.
