Embo (Italy) - AllCarIndex

Embo was an Italian automotive manufacturer that operated from 1978 to 1982, based in Caramagna, Piemonte, in the province of Cuneo. The company specialized in producing compact 4x4 vehicles, utilizing the Fiat Campagnola as a foundation for its designs.

The primary model produced by Embo featured a very short wheelbase, designed as an estate-type vehicle. It incorporated mechanical components from the Fiat Campagnola, including a four-wheel-drive system and a choice of engines. Customers could select between a 2.0-liter petrol engine, which offered outputs of either 80 or 110 horsepower, or a 2.5-liter diesel engine that produced 72 horsepower. The overall length of the vehicle was notably compact at 122 inches (3100 mm).

In 1980, Embo restyled its vehicle and rebranded it as the Mega. However, by 1982, the company shifted its focus away from 4x4 vehicles, opting instead to enhance its offerings in the passenger car segment, including models such as the Innocenti and Maserati Biturbo. This transition marked the end of Embo's production of off-road vehicles.
