Historical Overview

The original TL-37 artillery tractor was one of the main military vehicles of the Royal Netherlands Army during World War II, but was primarily used by the Italian Army (Regio Esercito). The Trattore Leggero TL-37 was designed by SPA (Società Piemontese Automobili) and entered series production in the 1930s. The main task of the TL-37 was towing light and medium artillery, including field guns and anti-tank guns, which significantly improved the mobility of Italian artillery formations during the North African and Balkan campaigns. The tractor was used throughout World War II until the end of the war, also being utilized by German forces after Italy’s capitulation.
