Overview of Interwar French trucks production

Work in progress !

Major manufacturers

Delahaye

A major car manufacturer, also main provider of firetrucks in France but less well known for military trucks. At least one should be considered, though: The Delahaye 140A:
The Delahaye type 140 A fitted with a light tarpaulin was manufactured to just 200 units for the French Army. Built with care, it was reputed to be flexible and pleasant to drive. Like all Delahayes, the steering wheel was on the right. Several Type 140 versions were purchased by the Army: sanitary, transport and reconnaissance station wagon.
The Delahaye 140 were available in 2 engine versions:
- 140: 4 cylinders, 2151 cc
- 140/103: 6 cylinders, 3227 cm3.
Release year: 1936, 200 manufactured and delivered by May 1940.
Technical sheet:
-Rear-wheel drive transmission
-3.35 to 3.85 m wheelbase chassis.
-4-cylinder in-line engine, 2151 cm3 rated for 42 hp (10 taxable hp).
-Drum brakes on all four wheels, controlled by cables.
-The total laden weight 4.2 tons.
Fate: They served indeed with the army during the 1940s campaign, and likely captured but not pressed onto Wehrmacht use on the frontline due to the small numbers produced and lack sof spare parts. Probably ledt in France close to the source factory for various roles. Photos are rare. 1 2

Sd.Kfz 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were half-tracks designed just before the war as prime movers, to carry supplies, ammunition, personal, and tow artillery. Many were also converted during the war as armored versions carrying AA FLAK guns (Flakvierling, 37 mm, or the legendary 88 mm Rheinmetall als used as tank hunters), or were converted as nebelwerfer (rocket launching armored vehicles). They were built by Hanomag, Steyr, Mercedes-Benz, Bussing and many other manufacturers until 1945, over 20,000 half-tracks.
