The Fiat 18BL - Veteran of Logistics

The Fiat 18BL is an old truck model with a rich history. Produced from 1914 to 1932, this truck belongs to the first generation and was a workhorse for the Italian army in World War I. The 18BL was one of the first vehicles mass-produced, sporting a 4-cylinder engine with 40 horsepower and a payload capacity of up to 3.5 tons. Its sturdy drivetrain and robust chassis made it an essential part of military and civilian logistics. The predecessor of the 18BL was the Fiat 15Ter, which was less powerful in comparison.

This modelcar in the collection of Eugen1985 is one of currently 29.498 registered models on Modelly!
