IFA was used as an actual brand name for cars and motorcycles made in the former DKW factories in Zwickau and Zschopau from 1949 to 1956. As such it was superseded by the car brands AWZ and later Trabant and by the motorcycle brand MZ.
IFA as a truck brand was applied to the trucks made at IWL in Ludwigsfelde near Berlin into the 1980s.
