Four-wheel drive for asphalt: the beginning

And if in the First World War it was sometimes enough to use Parisian buses for the transfer of soldiers – in fact, bulky rear-wheel drive trucks with benches, then the Second World War was already a mobile war.

Now mobile motorized formations wedged into enemy territory, broke through to the rear and in a matter of weeks solved tasks that previously required years of positional warfare in the trenches.

Against this background, multifunctional, passable all-wheel drive vehicles became widespread, and after the war, farmers and foresters appreciated their merits. However, driving an SUV to the office on decent roads has never occurred to anyone.
