The AMO-F-15 ( Russian АМО-Ф-15 ) is the first series-produced truck from 1924 by the Soviet manufacturer AMO ( Awtomobilnoje Moskowskoje Obschtschestwo , German: Moskauer Automobilgesellschaft). The truck with a payload of 1.5 tons was built until 1931 and then replaced by the AMO-3 and other types. The plant was later renamed Zavod imeni Stalina and then Zavod imeni Lichatschowa and continued to produce trucks in Moscow until 2013 .
Vehicle history
Originally, shortly after the October Revolution in 1917, the production of a truck under license was to begin. Because of the war events , the AMO initially had to limit itself to assembling components bought from Fiat . It was not until 1924 that the AMO-F-15, which was a replica of the Fiat F-15, was mass-produced independently .
Various changes were made to the vehicle over the course of its production history. The shape of the radiator changed between 1925 and 1926, and since 1927 there was a new shape of the fenders and a fixed canopy. In 1928 an electrical lighting system and a horn were installed for the first time; In 1930 the steering wheel was moved to the left.
6,285 of the trucks built up to 1931 were produced, 3227 of them in the penultimate year of production. From 1930, a new type of truck was produced with the AMO-2 and production of the AMO-F-15 was discontinued in October 1931 with the appearance of the AMO-3 .

A total of six different versions of the vehicle were produced:
- The AMO-F-15 was the basic version and was delivered as a flatbed truck.
