The truck, first shown in 1999, utilized MAN components, like crew cab and engine. The same year MAN became an owner of Star Trucks. As a result of MAN policy to gather truck construction in Steyr works, in 2006 it was decided to stop truck manufacturing in Starachowice and this put an end to Polish-designed Star 1466.[3]
Polish Army ordered only small quantities of these trucks – 75 were delivered in 2000-2007.[4]
