The PZInż 302, also known as Polski Fiat 508/518, was a Polish military truck and light artillery tractor. Designed and built by Państwowe Zakłady Inżynieryjne works (hence the PZInż 302 name), it used a large number of parts from both the Polski Fiat 508 all-terrain vehicle and Polski Fiat 518 car.[1] It was produced in a variety of versions, including light truck/pick-up truck, radio vehicle and towing tractor for the Bofors 37 mm.[2]
The truck's carrying capacity was 5 artillerymen and 80 rounds of ammunition for the Bofors. The 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade (Poland) and the Warsaw Armoured Motorized Brigade also used the 508/518 in an anti-aircraft role.[3]
After the Invasion of Poland was over, a number of PZInż 302 vehicles fell into the hands of the Germans. Later, some of these vehicles were incorporated into the equipment of the Wehrmacht.
