Description

The Bedford MWC 15 cwt 4×2 was a British light military truck used primarily during World War II.
With a capacity of 250 gallons (about 1,177 liters), this vehicle was designed for transporting water, being crucial for supplying troops in areas where drinking water supply was limited.
Produced by the Bedford Vehicles Company, the MWC was part of the “MW” series of trucks, manufactured between 1939 and 1945.
Its 72 hp 6-cylinder engine, combined with its 4×2 traction, made it suitable for travel in difficult terrain.
In addition, its compact design and versatility allowed it to be used in a variety of situations, not only as a tanker, but also in other variants to transport ammunition, supplies and personnel.
The Bedford MWC was widely employed on fronts such as North Africa, Europe and Asia, becoming a key vehicle in British military logistics.
