History.

The Ford V3000S Maultier, developed during World War II, was a German half-track truck based on the Ford V3000S chassis. The vehicle emerged as a solution to the Wehrmacht's need for reliable transport in harsh, muddy, or snowy terrains on the Eastern Front. "Maultier," meaning "mule" in German, aptly described its role as a sturdy, versatile workhorse.

The design featured a modified rear axle replaced by tracks, combining a traditional truck's simplicity with the enhanced off-road capability of a half-track. Produced between 1942 and 1945, the Maultier served primarily as a transport vehicle for troops, ammunition, and supplies. Ford's German subsidiary contributed significantly to its production, highlighting the global reach of Ford's industrial expertise during the war.

    Review by David S. on 3 Aug 2019 review stating Ford V3000S Maultier ambulance
    Something a bit different to add to your collection, this model was great to build, with two figures, one who is on a stretcher and has an Elvis Presley look about him. Another brilliant model from Cobi .
