Opel Blitz (Blitz being German for “lightning”) was the name given to various light and middle-weight trucks built by the German Opel automobile manufacturer between 1930 and 1975. The original logo for this truck, two stripes arranged loosely like a lightning symbol in the form of a horizontally stretched letter “Z”, still appears in the current Opel logo. By 1934 there were four versions offered of the 1-tonne basic model along with fourteen versions of the larger 2 and 2½ tonne trucks. The mid-weight versions were originally equipped with a 68 hp petrol engine, which was replaced in 1937 by the 75 hp engine also used in Opel Admiral passenger cars.
