Historical background:
With over 70,000 produced between 1937 and 1944, the 3ton 4x2 German cargo truck was a vital cog in the operations of WWII German forces. It featured a simple rear wheel-drive chassis with a 68hp engine, which enabled a maximum on-road speed of 85km/h and a range of 320km. Such performance, coupled with its superb load-carrying capacity and reliability, saw this invaluable truck supplied to units on all fronts and hauling vital supplies and fuel.
