SAMIL 50
Notes: The SAMIL 50 is one of the standard medium trucks used by South Africa. It has a canvas cover for the cargo area over a steel framework, and the seats in this area may be installed along the sides or down the center, back to back. Variants include a communications vehicle, battery-charging vehicle, welding shop, tanker, field kitchen, mobile personnel shower, and container transporter.
The Mk 2 is an upgraded version of the SAMIL 50 Mk 1. It has a much lighter engine and fuel tank, and a modified transmission. The main reasons for the changes in design are to ease local construction methods. The same sorts of variants that are available for the Mk 1 are available for the Mk 2.
