📌 1950's Volvo TL22 Cargo all-terrain vehicle 912, The Gressenhall Collection.

The Volvo TL22 was an all-wheel drive all-terrain 6x6 truck with a flatbed. The vehicle has differential locks on all three axles for good off-road mobility. It had similarities with the Dodge 1.5 ton truck. For its time, the passability in terrain was considered outstanding. The Volvo TL22 had an unsynchronized gearbox with 4 forward gears and one reverse gear, as well as an unsynchronized auxiliary gearbox for high and low gear. It had a winch and could thereby pull itself up if it got stuck.

 

The Volvo TL22 was also used as a training platform for tank drivers for Tank 102, when these would learn to handle an unsynchronized gearbox, which both had in common. Radio terrain vehicle 938 was used as a fire control vehicle by the Swedish coastal artillery. The vehicle was fitted with a longer cab to accommodate the communications equipment.
