The
ZiS-151 () is a general-purpose truck, produced by the Soviet Union in 1947â€"65, at
Automotive Factory No. 2 Zavod imeni Stalina. In 1956, the factory was renamed
Zavod imeni Likhacheva, and new trucks were called
ZiL-151 ().
The ZiS-151 was the first major Soviet military all-wheel-drive truck built following World War II, replacing the U.S.
Studebaker US6, and earlier
ZiS-6. In early 1948, the cabs were made of wood, soon replaced with a steel cab. Tens of thousends were produced, including specialized versions for hauling different types of cargo. The Soviets found the trucks an ideal platform for
BM-13 Katyusha rocket launchers. One of the most famous developments of ZiS-151 was
BTR-152 armored personnel carrier.
In 1958 ZiL-151 model was replaced by the
ZiL-157, differed outwardly by grille and having a single rear axle, instead of the ZiL-151's tandem wheels.
