Fiat 665 NM

The Fiat 665 NM was an Italian military truck related to the larger transport vehicles needed by mechanized armies. The 665 NM designation is also associated with an armored troop-carrying adaptation, making body configuration important. Its history concerns transport and protected movement rather than the development of a purpose-built tank or tracked infantry fighting vehicle. Italy’s wartime vehicle industry had to satisfy competing requirements for ordinary cargo trucks, specialized bodies, and protected transport. A common automotive base could support several adaptations without making them identical. The armored Protetto version placed a protected troop compartment on the wheeled chassis. Such vehicles offered shelter from small-arms fire while remaining dependent on roads and automotive maintenance.
