The Studebaker US6 is a class of trucks manufactured by Studebaker during World War II, produced in the United States from 1941-1945 and in the Soviet Union beginning in 1942.
Specifications
These had six-cylinder gasoline engines that attained 94 horsepower (70 kW) and were fitted with a five-speed transmission. Approximately 200,000 of the trucks were built, in thirteen different variations, including dump truck and tractor models. The most common wheel configurations were 6Ã6 and 6Ã4.
Allied use
Large numbers of Lend-Lease Studebaker trucks were sent into the Soviet Union via the Persian Corridor. The Soviets found them a good platform for Katyusha rocket launchers, although it was not their prime use in the Soviet Union. It filled many roles in the RKKA, such as pulling artillery and was renowned for its ruggedness and reliability. The truck was affectionately known as the Studer by Soviet troops.
During WWII, the legendary Studebaker US6, became the symbol of the American Lend-Lease program.
This excellent vehicle was developed by the famous Studebaker company from an order placed by the US Government. The first mass produced US6 left the production line in June 1941. The Studebaker US6 was not used as the standard US Army truck, and so the Allies became its main users. Most of the US6s were delivered to The Soviet Union. In the Red Army, Studebakers were used not only for carrying loads, transporting troops, and as gun tractors, but they were also the base for a variety of different installations, such as various multiple launch rocket systems.
In the USSR the US6, nicknamed âStuderâ, proved extremely popular due to its reliability and excellent cross country performance.
