Description and history of the vehicle

The Fiat-Terni Tripoli 1ZM is an Italian armoured car, designed and put into production in 1915. It was extensively used by the Italian army during the First World War as well as in colonial conflicts in North Africa. Vehicles from the 1ZM family equipped Italian armored units, serving both on the Western Front and in the Balkans. For example, the 1ZM was used during the Italian intervention in Libya and by the Expeditionary Corps in Russia during the Russian Civil War.
