The MZ-504 is a workhorse, one of the few that come close to the carrying capacity of the excellent SKD 706, but it has much better speed, so for nations that have invested in highways this may be the open-hull truck of choice.

The MZ-504 is one of the few open hulls in the first 10 years that can challenge the SKD 706 for the place of being the primary hauling truck. This is because the MZ-504 has a decent carrying capacity of 10t of Steel and so on. So while it carries 3 tonnes less than the SKD 706, it is the speed of the truck that gives the 'Skoda' a run for its money. The MZ-504 can travel at speeds of 88 km/h (it doesn't time travel, though), which means that it is 28 km/h faster than the SKD 706. Therefore, if a nation has asphalt roads to customs houses, the MZ-504 will outperform an SKD.

The MZ-504 is based on the real-life MAZ-504, a Soviet workhorse for about a decade.

In game, the MZ-504 might be the open hull worth building domestically: it takes around 500 workdays, meaning that a fully staffed vehicle production line can produce one every day and a bit. Given its speed and carrying capacity, it is an excellent all-rounder.

There is also the covered version, which is just as excellent and can really put in a shift for the republic.

To build it requires 7.4t of Steel, 0.98t of Mech Com, 0.14t of Elec Com, 0.32t of Plastic and 0.005t of Fabric.
