Historical Description

The Autocarro 3Ro is a truck manufactured by Alfa Romeo, and it was one of the main vehicles used by the Italian armed forces during World War II. It was widely employed from 1938 onwards by the Regio Esercito, the Royal Italian Army. This model stood out for its reliability and high payload capacity (over 6 tons). The 3Ro transported soldiers, military supplies, and served as a platform for anti-aircraft artillery. It was present on all fronts of Italian engagements: from North Africa, through the Balkans, to the Russian front. After Italy’s capitulation, it was also used by the German army and remained in service until the late 1940s.
