The Dodge WC-54 is an American military all-terrain truck from the Second World War. The first prototype examples of the family of these vehicles appeared in 1940, and the serial production of the WC-54 model was carried out in 1942-1944. About 26,000 Dodge WC-54 cars were produced in its course. The drive was provided by a single engine Dodge T-214 with 92 hp. The car was 4.95 meters long and 1.98 meters wide. The maximum load capacity was approx. 820 kg.
The Dodge WC-54 was developed to replace the WC-9, WC-18 and WC-27 vehicles as a new US Army ambulance vehicle. Compared to its predecessors, it used the same, but lengthened, chassis with a longer wheelbase and a slightly changed suspension system. The vehicle also received a metal cabin capable of transporting seven patients and one doctor. The WC-54 car was used extensively by the American armed forces in 1942-1945, for example during the campaigns in Italy (1943-1945) or in Normandy (1944). At the very end of the war, it began to be replaced by the WC-64 KD truck. However, many vehicles of this type remained in the US Army and were reused during the Korean War (1950-1953), and remained in the line in some European armies until the 1960s.
