ICM WWII British Trucks Model W.O.T. 6 Model W.O.T. 8 Leyland Retriever

The Fordson WOT-6 is a British military truck from World War II. Serial production was carried out in the years 194-1945. Approximately 30,000 trucks of this type of all varieties were created in its course. The total weight of the cart was 5.4 tons, its length was 6.1 meters and the width was 2.3 meters. The operating range was 450 kilometers. The Fordson WOT-6 was developed during World War II as a member of a family of trucks intended for the British Army. Interestingly, the WOT vehicles were designed from the beginning as cars intended for the armed forces, and their production took place at the Ford plant in Dagenham, hence the term Fordson. The WOT-6 truck was an evolutionary development of the WOT-8 car, with a longer wheelbase and its load capacity increased to 3 tons. As the WOT-6 trucks were often located near the front line, a machine gun was sometimes mounted on them, on the roof of the driver's cab. The WOT-6 trucks turned out to be a successful design - the British Army used them shortly after World War II, and the Danish armed forces until 1974!
