The Tatra 15/30 had a front engine and rear wheel drive, an air-cooled straight four cylinder engine of 1680 cc with 18 kW (24 hp), a two-speed gearbox and a top speed of 80 km/h. Brakes were mechanical - hand for the rear wheels and foot to the front wheels. Damper leaf spring suspension on the railroad track provided sufficient comfort. A swivel rod placed under the vehicle enabled it to be rotated 180 degrees without using a turntable or a passing bay. One featured in the Oscar-winning movie by Jiří Menzel, Closely Watched Trains.
