The Mercedes-Benz L3000 was a 4x2 three-tonne rear-axle-drive truck powered by a Daimler-Benz OM 65/4 four-cylinder diesel engine of 74 horsepower. Built from 1938 to 1944 in three versions, the civil L3000, the all-wheel-drive military L3000A and the L3000S that used some standardised parts, it served alongside the Opel Blitz, proved even more reliable in rough terrain, and was used on all fronts of the Second World War and extensively by the Afrika Korps. It grew out of the LG 63 off-road test vehicles of 1934 and the LG 3000 delivered from 1936 to the Wehrmacht, the Reichspost and the Reichsbahn, and it was also used by civilian fire departments. More than 27,700 were built, making it the most produced Mercedes-Benz truck of the war.
