- Source: T-1 tractor
The T-1 tractor (also known as DT-1, Direcția Tehnică 1) was a project developed by the Romanian Army during World War II. A total of 1,000 were ordered. It was designed to tow a Romanian 75 mm gun. After five prototypes were produced, the project was canceled due to the lack of priority.
Specifications
The T-1 weighed 7 tons (7.7 short tons) and could carry up to 4 tons and tow as much as 6 tons. It had a 4-cylinder 56 kilowatt (75 hp) engine and transmission consisting of five gears. It could go up to 32 km/h (20 mph) and had a power-to-weight ratio of 10.7 hp/tonne.
Development
The Romanian General Staff ordered the construction of 1,000 tractors between 1944 and 1945 at the Ford truck plant in Bucharest. The vehicles were officially designated as T-1 (Tractor 1). It was also named the "DT-1". It was going to be used as a prime mover towing the Romanian-built 75 mm antitank gun Reşiţa Model 1943.
Production
The vehicle was based on the STZ-5 agricultural tractor. Only five prototypes were built, because the "Mareşal" tank destroyer project had more priority.
