	Pegaso built about a hundred high-end [[Pegaso Z-102\|'''Z-102''']] [[sports car]]s in the [[1950s]]. The cars were in many ways advanced for the time, as they had all wheel [[independent suspension]], a five-speed [[gearbox]], and were offered with the choice of [[Touring]], [[Saoutchik]] or Enasa's own luxury bodies.

	While in 1954 the old Pegaso Diesel engine was uprated to 140hp, other Ricart's masterpiece, the [[Pegaso Z-207\|Pegaso '''Z-207''']] truck, was ready to enter mass production, as it actually was from 1955 to 1959. It featured a splendid [[V6 engine]] and an unforgettable cab, which was also used in other Pegaso truck models in the 1960s and '70s, becoming a piece of the Spanish landscape.

	Also technically advanced was the [[Pegaso Z-403\|Pegaso '''Z-403 Monocasco''']], a two-level [[monocoque]] (chassisless) coach, fitted with the 125-hp [[diesel engine]] mounted amidships, and built between 1951 and 1957. Along these years Pegaso built too the more conventional '''Z-404''' coach or urban bus chassis, that used to receive a striking body by ~~Seida of~~ [[~~Bilbao~~]], and the '''Z-501''' [[trolleybus]], which featured electric equipment by Cenemesa.

	In the [[1960s]] and [[1970s]] Pegaso kept pace with the impressive economic development of Spain (the so-called ''[[Spanish miracle]]''), and tens of thousands of Pegaso trucks and buses ran through Spanish roads and cities and, more important, crossed borders in ~~[[TIR Treaty\|~~TIR]] sealed ~~[[container (cargo)\|~~container]] traffic to link the Spanish economy with the [[European Economic Community]], the Pegaso flagship by then being the '''2011''' artic tractor. In those years Pegaso marketed a full variety of commercial vehicles, the top of the line being 8x4 rigids, 6x4 semi-trailer tractors, 6x6 off-road dumpers and military armoured vehicles, a five-axle 10x4 special conversion for the Dutch market, and three-axle [[articulated buses]]; all of them featuring Pegaso's own engines of up to 352-[[horsepower]].

	In 1961 began the production of Pegaso '''Monotral''' buses and coaches, based on an Italian Viberti design that gave rise to a long line of Pegaso chassisless new models along two decades. First of the series was the successful '''6030-N''' coach, equipped with an underfloor horizontal engine and single-tyre rear axle, making it a very light yet full-length vehicle.

	In the [[1980s]], suffering from the saturation of the European truck market, Enasa looked for some kind of joint venture with other truck makers. A failed association in [[1978]] with [[International Harvester]] had resulted in Enasa taking over the British [[Seddon Atkinson]]. Later on an agreement with [[DAF Trucks]] produced new heavy models of both makes, the DAF 95 and [[Pegaso Troner]], both launched in 1987, as well as the Seddon-Atkinson Strato which used the same cab.

	After a last-minute aborted joint takeover by [[Daimler-Benz]] and [[MAN AG\|MAN]], [[Iveco]] bought eventually Enasa in [[1990]]. At that time Pegaso offering included the '''Ekus''' (light), '''Mider''' (medium), '''Troner''' (heavy), '''Trakker''' (off-road) and '''Podium''' (buses and coaches) ranges; while a 500hp futuristic [[concept car\|concept truck]] with design by [[Francisco Podadera]], the Pegaso '''Solo''' 500, had been exhibited in the 1989 Barcelona Motor Show.

	Shortly afterwards the Iveco take over, most of the Pegaso ranges disappeared from the market. In July, 12th, 1993 the very last Pegaso Troner went out the production line in the Barajas (Madrid) plant, and this date is commonly referred to as the one of the "death of Pegaso"; but Iveco proceeded with selling Pegaso badged military trucks still for a couple of years.
