United States Army
During World War II, the United States swiftly organized mass production of military vehicles across various classes and purposes. American vehicles gained widespread adoption in both US and allied forces due to their simple, refined, and practical design. A notable example was the three-axle Studebaker US6, launched by the Studebaker Corporation in 1941. This robust vehicle offered high payload capacity, with about 200,000 units manufactured across thirteen variants—including the US6-U3 truck and US6-U5 fuel tanker. Chevrolet (then a part of General Motors Company) also produced military two-axle trucks. Their Model 7117 was an all-wheel drive vehicle with a 1.5-ton payload capacity, featuring a metal cabin and a transmission-powered mechanical winch. The US Army primarily deployed these vehicles for auxiliary tasks within the continental United States.
