The '''SR 113''' or as it is known better as the '''Bucegi''' or '''Carpathian''' was a medium-duty truck produced by Steagul Rosu from 1962 to 1982, as the company's successor to the [[Engineering:ZIS-150|SR-101]], which was based on the Soviet [[Engineering:ZIS-150|ZIS-150]] truck. The truck has similair specifications with the ZIL-130, that replaced the [[Engineering:ZIS-150|ZIS-150]], since it has a 5-ton payload,<ref name="[1]">{{cite web |title=Automobile Romanesti - Dacia Oltcit Aro TV Rocar Roman Tractorul |url=http://www.automobileromanesti.ro/Roman/SR_113/ |access-date=13 August 2021}}</ref> and a V8 engine,<ref name="[1]">{{cite web |title=Automobile Romanesti - Dacia Oltcit Aro TV Rocar Roman Tractorul |url=http://www.automobileromanesti.ro/Roman/SR_113/ |access-date=13 August 2021}}</ref> along with a similairy designed cab, which was made in collaboration with the Chausson Plant, that was located in {{wipe|France}}.<ref name="[1]">{{cite web |title=Automobile Romanesti - Dacia Oltcit Aro TV Rocar Roman Tractorul |url=http://www.automobileromanesti.ro/Roman/SR_113/ |access-date=13 August 2021}}</ref>

In 1971 the factory was re-organized as a [[Finance:Joint venture|joint venture]] with [[Company:MAN SE|MAN]], and was renamed Roman Trucks, and soon production of the Roman Diesel trucks started, which were based on the MAN F8 trucks.<ref name="[3]">{{cite web |title=Roman » 1st generation |url=https://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=1469 |access-date=13 August 2021}}</ref> As production of the Roman 8.135F started, which was similar to the 113 in configuration, it was clear that the 113 trucks were soon going to be replaced by the 8.135F trucks sooner or later, and the discontinuation of the 113 trucks finally came in 1982.

Nevertheless, the SR 113 also served as the basis for many models, albeit most of them were prototypes or concept vehicles, one of them is the Roman SR 19.215DFK, which was based on the chassis of the Roman 19.215DFK truck, but had the cab of the SR-113 truck. That vehicle was only built for testing and remained on the prototype stage.<ref name="[4]">{{cite web |title=Roman » 19.215DFK with SR cab |url=https://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=1549 |access-date=13 August 2021}}</ref> The SR 113 trucks were also widely used by the Romanian army.
