Descriptionof AS42 Sahariana
Manufacturer

The Desert Truck Model 42 "Sahariana" was developed on behalf of the Italian Regio Esercito on the basis of the chassis and mechanics of the reliable AB 41 armoured car. In fact, during operations on the African front, the need arose for a reconnaissance vehicle particularly suited to desert conditions, where driving on sand required special characteristics that were lacking in the available vehicles. Thanks to its low side profile and large wheels, the "Sahariana" was ideal for reconnaissance operations and rapid advances into enemy territory. The good range emphasised the possibility of using the vehicle for long-range operations. The type of armament could vary depending on the model and consisted of the Breda 20/65 model 1935 machine gun, the effective 47/32 anti-tank gun or the 20 mm Solothurn anti-tank gun.
