The Autocar Dispatch was a series of commercial vehicles produced by the Autocar Company from 1928 to 1932. The truck was the company's new six-cylinder vehicle of 1.5 and 2.0 tons, that replaced the older Autocar Model A trucks.[1] The Dispatch series of trucks was very popular in the United States and was a common truck on the road during the 1930s and the 1940s.
The Dispatch series of trucks, was also produced under license in the Soviet Union under the AMO-2 name from 1931 to 1932, when it was modernized as the AMO-3 and then as the ZIS-5 that was produced until 1958, with nearly 1 million vehicles produced in the Soviet Union alone.
