Removed text[edit]

From End of Vanaja; seems to belong elsewhere in the article, but I don't know where.

The number of produced Vanaja lorries and bus chassis totalled 7,140 pieces. In addition, some dozens of trailers and semi-trailers were produced and sold under the Vanaja brand together with lorries and in 1955 four Vanaja rail buses were made together with Kiitokori and sold to the Finnish State Railways.[1]

About 260 different lorry types were produced, in which were 35 engine types, 20 gearbox and 15–20 cabin types.[2] For 116 of the types only one or two units were produced. The majority of the differences came from special wheelbases which always needed an official approval from the authorities.[3] In many cases it is impossible for even experts to identify different models and years of production.[2]

Bus chassis types numbered 66 and no one knows the number of different body types built on them by various coach builders and operators.[2]
