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.

The Ford WOT 2 (War Office Trucks) was in production throughout WW2 with almost 60,000 manufactured. Most were fitted with a general service body and were used to carry stores, baggage, ammunition and occasionally heavy weapons.
The early models had open cabs with a folding windscreen and canvas tilt. Some had canvas doors while others had a metal door on a wooden frame. Van bodywork vehicles were used as wireless trucks or as fire service vans for the ARP (Air Raid Precautions). At Weybourne Camp a WOT 2 was used as the Cinema Van to transport the film reels and supplies.
The Museum's truck is shown carrying a working Godiva Coventry Climax fire pump which has been used to empty the water fire tank in the museum compound.

29/04/2025, Flinders Parade, Gladstone, Queensland, Australia.
New to Australia in 2024, this Chinese designed & built four wheel drive ute (utility vehicle / pick-up) has already won a 10% market share in 6 months.
No mean feat in this land of four wheel drive utes (my words).
One thing which did catch my eye was the unladen weight; coming in at a massive 2,710 kg (5975 lbs). There are quite a number in town already.
It is a PHEV, with a hybrid drivetrain combining a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors, one on each axle, for permanent all-wheel drive.
The petrol engine acts primarily as a generator, powering the electric motors and charging the 29.58kWh battery.
The combined output of the electric motors and petrol engine is up to 321kW and 650Nm.

This fine little Bedford is still registered for commercial use by an unknown owner (unmarked) after being idle for a decade (1999-2009), the previous license plates may well have been the original enamel plates from 1968. This is the only time I've seen a Bedford HA since the 1970s. Placed in both truck- and car folders, since it falls between categories.
Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.
Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.
Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
In 1959 the British Army needed a vehicle capable of working with armoured formations in the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) in Germany. The Alvis company developed the Stalwart basing it on the Salamander fire truck using the same chassis as the Sarecen and Saladin.
It is fitted with power assisted steering on the two front axles and has a load capacity of 5 tons. The vehicles six wheels are independently sprung to giving it the capacity to cross trenches up to 5 feet wide and to climb gradients of 1:3.
It was also designed to be amphibious thereby enabling it to ''swim'' across water obstacles powered by a water propulsion system mounted behind each of the rear wheels giving it a speed of 6 mph.
It was the principle support vehicle for armoured tanks and artillery regiments in combat area and a variant was also produced equipped with an Atlas crane enabling the lifting of pallets of ammunition.

The Ford GPW Jeep and its twin, the Willys MB Jeep, can lay claim to being the most famous military vehicle in the world. Production began in July 1941 and when ended in 1945 Ford had produced 287,000 GPW's and Willys had produced 361,000 model MB's.
It's technical description was that of a ¼ ton 4x4 truck and the name ''Jeep'' came from either Eugene the Jeep, a character in the Popeye strip or a term used by engineers for untested vehicles. What ever its origins it began the legacy of four-wheel drive cross-country vehicles which remain popular today.
Supplied to all Allied forces, the vehicle was used in a variety of roles from reconnaissance to towing trailers, guns and other weapons. They were used by the British SAS with Lewis machine guns, they carried radios, were adapted as ambulances, made lighter for airborne use and even converted to run on railways. Their achievements are legendary from transporting Presidents to British Royalty to privates and celebrities. No film about the Second World was complete without a Jeep appearing in it at some point so it became the first vehicle acquired by the Museum.

The successor to the successful series I was the series II, which saw a production run from 1958 to 1961. It came in 88 in and 109 in wheelbases (normally referred to as the 'SWB' and 'LWB'). This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department. Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar 'barrel side' waistline, with a 5 in greater width to cover the vehicle's wider tracks, as well as the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers.
The series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25-litre petrol engine, although the first 1,500 or so short wheelbase (SWB) models retained the 52 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine from the series I. This larger petrol engine produced 72 hp and was closely related to the 2.0-litre diesel unit still in use. This engine became the standard Land Rover unit until the mid-1980's when diesel engines became more popular.
The 109 in series II station wagon introduced a twelve-seater option on top of the standard ten-seater layout. This was primarily to take advantage of U.K tax laws, by which a vehicle with 12 seats or more was classed as a bus, and was exempt from Purchase Tax and Special Vehicle Tax. This made the twelve-seater not only cheaper to buy than the 10-seater version, but also cheaper than the seven-seater 88 in Station Wagon. The twelve-seater layout remained a highly popular body style for decades, being retained on the later series and Defender variants until 2002, when it was dropped.
The unusual status of the twelve-seater remained until the end, such vehicles were classed as minibuses and thus could use bus lanes and (if registered correctly) could be exempt from the London Congestion Charge. There was some degree of overlap between series I and II production. Early series II 88 in vehicles were fitted with the old 2-litre petrol engine to use up existing stock from production of the series I. The 107 in Station Wagon continued until late 1959 due to continued demand from export markets and to allow the production of series-II components to reach full level.

By the late 1960's, it was clear that changes to the Series IIA were required if Land Rover was going to keep its edge. Hence in 1971, the Series IIA was replaced by the Series III. Cash was limited and market research showed that customers were not looking for radical changes.
Hence the Series III was an evolution of the Series IIA design, rather a complete revamp. The most significant change was the replacement of the gearbox with a completely new one that incorporated synchromesh on all forward gears. The ratios were also revised, with lower reverse and 1st gears, and the low range ratio was also reduced. Clutch design was also modified to include a diaphragm spring, resulting in smoother and quieter gear changes. Brakes were also improved, and a heavy duty Salisbury rear axle was fitted as standard to all 6 cylinder vehicles. From 1972, the Salisbury became a standard fitment on all 109-inch vehicles. The electrical system was also upgraded with the dynamo replaced by an alternator.
The body remained virtually unchanged, although the metal grille was replaced with a plastic grille designed to match the new headlamp position introduced in 1968. Although there were few external changes, the Series III looked very different on the inside. The dash was redesigned with the addition of padding. The instrument panel was moved to be in front of the driver. The door interiors were upholstered, and a much-improved heater was fitted, there wwere even provisions for a radio !
In 1979, the Range Rover V8 engine and drive-line were fitted to the 109-inch to produce the ''Stage 1''. This combined the extra power of the Rover V8 with the load-space and indestructibility of the 109-inch long wheelbase Land Rover. The LT95 4-speed full-time 4WD was used, but the power output of the V8 was reduced slightly to match the 109-inch application. The grille had to be moved forward to fit the V8 into the engine bay, resulting in a vehicle that looks like a hybrid between the leaf-sprung 109-inch and the larger-engined Defender 90 and 110.
As well as adding power, the V8 is a much smoother engine. It is also noteworthy for producing peak torque and power at very low engine speeds, idea for a heavy duty vehicle such as the Stage 1, it has a top speed of about 80mph, and is capable of climbing 1-in-1 slopes. ''Stage 1'' was the first stage of a £200 million investment programme, which also produced the 4-door Range Rover, and culminated in the replacement of the Series III Land Rovers by the coil-sprung 110-inch and 90-inch Land Rovers in 1983 and 1984 respectively.

(1941-1945) WILLYS MB
One of the first mass-produced military vehicles in the United States, the Willys MB (and Ford GPW) U.S Army Jeep is the culmination of war-time ingenuity, standardization and strategic personalization for transport of personnel and cargo. Soon to become the ubiquitous, ''world-famous'' Jeep, the Willys MB and Ford GPW models were very effective on the ground, with many standardized features such as 6.00x16 tyres, 60 honest horsepower at 4,000rpm, a gasoline can bracket on the left rear, provisions for trailer lights, spark interference suppression, a blackout light system, twin top bows and sealed spring shackles.
Prior to the production of the MB/GPW, other attempts were made to satisfy the Army's need for a Light Utility Vehicle including the first prototype presented by the American Bantam Car Company. Nicknamed the ''Blitz Buggy'' this vehicle concept which was the first bid accepted by the Army, as it satisfied the Army’s Ordnance Technical Committee specifications that the vehicle has:
▪︎Four-wheel drive.
▪︎Crew of three.
▪︎A wheelbase of no more than 75in and tracks no more than 47in.
▪︎A fold-down windshield.
▪︎A 660lb payload.
▪︎An engine capable of 85 ft lb of torque.
▪︎With an empty weight of no more than 1,300lbs. (590 kg).
While the ''Blitz Buggy'' did satisfy these requirements, Bantam was not able to deliver with the fiscal strength or production capability needed to win the contract with the War Department. As as result, Ford and Willys were asked to product their own pilot models for testing, the results of which would determine the contract. The original pilot models were submitted and named accordingly. The Willys Quad by Willys Overland, the Ford Pygmy by Ford and the BRC 60 by Bantam were accepted and orders were given for 1,500 units per company, with a revised weight limit of 2,160Ib. During these pre-production runs, each vehicle was re-named. The Willys Quad became the “MA”, the Ford Pygmy became the “GP”, and the “BRC 60” became the “BRC 40”. By July of 1941, the War Department, needing standardization, selected Willys-Overland to fulfill its contract, on account of the MA’s powerful engine, silhouette, low bid ($748.74/unit), and because of the company’s ability to fulfill production needs, ordering another 16,000 vehicles.
Absorbing some of the design features of the Bantam and Ford entries, the Willys “MA” was then renamed the Willys “MB”, and featured the powerful “Go Devil” engine and a welded flat iron “slat” radiator grille (which was later replaced by a stamped grille in March of 1942). By October 1941, due to an increased demand for production, Ford was contracted to assist Willys-Overland and changed their model’s name from “GP to “GPW”, with the "W" referring to the "Willys" licensed design. During World War Two, Ford produced some 280,000 of these vehicles.
The MA and early MB's had the “Willys” name stamped into the left rear panel; however, in the spring of 1942, the War Dept. decided not to feature the logo and removed them. Early MB's had a wiper for each side of the windshield, which were hand operated in contrast to later configurations. The windshields also varied slightly. The first 3,500 produced used an MA-type frame, which had a shorter distance between the cowl and the glass frames (4in) The later models had a 6in measurement, and were noticeably taller. In the earlier model MB's, the gas tank still had rectangular lower corners, as opposed to later versions.
While earlier black-out lamps for the MB were used as aids to see other vehicles in the convoy, later MB's feature a large blackout headlamp mounted on the left front fender that was used to help the driver see where he was going. The headlamps on all World War Two Willys MB and Ford GPW Jeeps hinged up so they could illuminate the engine compartment in dark times. In 1942 the MB Jeeps got combat wheels, replacing the original stamped and welded version. Combat wheels were heavier and bolted together to facilitate field repair, and also had the ability to transport the vehicle for a distance with deflated tires. All jeeps had brackets for their pioneer tools mounted on the left side below the entryway.
Rounded rear corners were found on the bodies of all the production Jeeps, both Willys MB and Ford GPW models. All models also featured larger bumperettes, exterior handles for manual extrication from sticky terrain, and two top bows to raise the height of the canvas and keep it from pounding the heads of the front seat occupants. The instrument panels began to look more militarized on the MB and GPW. Instruments were separate (oil pressure, fuel level, ammeter, water temperature, speedometer) had black faces, and were externally illuminated. The in-out lever for the front differential, and the transfer case lever, were on the right side of the transmission lever, as those components had migrated from the left side on the Bantams to the right side on the production models.
