The FWD Type B was a U.S. military ammunition truck developed during World War I, known for its four-wheel-drive capabilities, which were innovative at the time. Produced by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, this vehicle played a crucial role in transporting ammunition and supplies to the front lines, particularly in rough and muddy terrain where traditional vehicles struggled. With a sturdy frame and all-wheel drive, the FWD Type B was highly effective in the demanding conditions of the war, contributing to its widespread use by both U.S. and Allied forces.

This truck was powered by a 36-horsepower engine, and its rugged design allowed it to carry heavy loads over challenging terrain, making it an essential component of logistical operations during the war. The FWD Type B could haul ammunition, equipment, and other critical supplies, ensuring that troops on the front lines were well-supported. Its reliability and performance set the standard for future military transport vehicles, and it became one of the most successful trucks of World War I, with thousands of units produced for the war effort.
