==In Real Life==
The Soviet Union had to establish its auto industry basically from scratch. Before the Great War in Russia, you had Nobles who could afford to import vehicles from abroad if they wanted one and a lot  of peasants and urban workers who had a hard enough time with the basics of life, let alone what was (at the time) expensive luxury transit. What little existed was nationalized by Lenin, which began research into modernization, expansion and limited production by 1924. Stalin pushed this harder, doing business with Henry Ford as well as FIAT and other such firms to boost production. Efforts were mostly focused on Trucks and other such utilitarian vehicles, with production in 1937 reaching 200,000 vehicles.

Even so, the bulk of Soviet Trucks during the Second World War was American-made. The USSR received some 427,284 trucks from the United States under Lend-Lease, with a few more from the British Commonwealth. The most common US model in the Red Army was the Studebaker US6. Having a superiority in trucks meant that the Red Army could more easily support its armies and redeploy them from zone to zone.
