On the other hand, the small cars based on the Fiat 500 which were manufactured in the same factory from 1957 to 1975 and the Haflinger and Pinzgauer off-road vehicles made from 1959 to 1999, which were all commonly known as Puch products, were actually sold under the combined brand name Steyr-Puch.
After 1999, when the Steyr-Daimler-Puch group had been split up, the brand was sold to Piaggio of Italy and continued to be used on bicycles.
