Leichter geländegängiger LKW
German WW II "Einheitsdiesel" / standard 2.5 ton (metric) off-road truck.
Development of standardised trucks (Einheits-Lastkraftwagen) for the German military started in 1934. They originally wanted three standard chassis with two, three, and four driven axles, all with large, single wheels and off-road payload capacities of 1.5, 2.5 and four metric tons respectively. Four prototype units of the four-axle, eight-wheel variant were built and later repurposed for special duty. In the end, only the three-axle, six-wheeled, 2.5 ton variant entered series production and was manufactured from 1937 through 1940. Its full official designation became: leichter geländegängiger Lastkraftwagen, offen (light cross-country lorry, open(-cab)). Commonly, they were often just called the "Einheitsdiesel" (standard diesels).
