Pegaso was introduced in 1946 as the vehicle marque of ENASA, the Spanish state owned truck and bus manufacturer created after the acquisition of Hispano-Suiza's Spanish automotive assets. The brand name and emblem refer to Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, a symbol that suited Spain's ambitions for a modern national commercial vehicle industry.
Early Pegaso badges used a stylized winged horse, often paired with strong red fields, chrome or silver metalwork, and straightforward lettering on trucks, buses, and the Z-102 sports car. After ENASA was acquired by Iveco in 1990, the Pegaso name gradually disappeared from new vehicles, but the winged horse remains closely associated with Spanish postwar engineering and heavy vehicle design.
