The Alfa Romeo Mille is an 8 ton forward control lorry produced by Alfa Romeo between 1958 and 1964. It was the last Alfa Romeo heavy commercial vehicle.[1]
The model was fitted with a 11,050 cc (674 cu in) inline-six diesel engine,[1] which produced between 163–174 hp (122–130 kW), and a gearbox with 8 forward speeds. For the time, Alfa Romeo Mille was one of the most innovative trucks.[2]
Alfa Romeo built the Mille in a rear-wheel drive 4x2 configuration. The Mille could carry 8 metric tons of cargo in the bed and a tow up to 18 tons; a fifth wheel tractor unit version was also made, rated for a 26.2 ton towing capacity.[1] Independent firms offered conversion to three or four axles by adding one or two dead axles, steerable or fixed; maximum bed payload went up respectively to over 10 or 13 tons.[1]
Italian Bartoletti made a car transporter version of the Mille in 1963, which could carry up to 8 cars on two levels of the car and trailer.[3]
There was also special Mille "Motori Aviazione" made for transportation of aircraft engines made by Alfa Romeo.[4]
In 1956, production license of the Mille was acquired by the Brazilian company Fábrica Nacional de Motores. FNM continued production these trucks under its own brand until 1980[2] with the name FNM 180 series.[5]
