Ford V3000S/SSM Maultier Half Track (Deep Cargo Body)

Produced by Ford in Cologne, the V3000S truck was the successor to the earlier G917T. It saw service on all fronts with around 25,000 produced between 1942 and 1945. The V3000S/SSM Maultier ("Mule") was based on the Ford V3000S with a tracked suspension system based on the British Universal Carrier. It was introduced following the bitter experience of Russian winter where trucks could not be used to carry cargo.
