Polski Fiat 621
Polski Fiat 621 was a Polish 2.5-tonne truck, the basic lorry of the Polish Army during the 1930s. It was built under an agreement between Fiat and PZInż. The Polish version of the Fiat 621 was heavily modified to better suit Polish needs and cope with the harsh weather and bad roads in Poland. The undercarriage was produced in two variants: The Polski Fiat 621 L was the basic variant to receive a number of superstructures while the Polski Fiat 621 R was used as the basis for a line of successful buses for the civilian market and heavier, 3-tonne lorries for the army.
The modifications to the original Fiat design included:
- Strengthened undercarriage
- New leaf springs, joints and shock absorbers
- Wider wheelbase
- Redesigned mounting of cab doors
- A Larger fuel tank for both gasoline and diesel versions
- Cylinder block redesigned and produced of high-quality steel
- Weber carburettor replaced with a simpler and easier to maintain construction by Solex
An unspecified number were also used by Romanian Army during WW2.
