The '''AMO-F-15''' was a light truck based on the Italian [Fiat 15Ter](/source/Fiat_15Ter) made at the [AMO](/source/ZiL)-plant in Moscow in the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union) from the mid-1920s. It was the first Soviet truck to be produced in the first series, with a total of more than 6,000 units made between 1924 and 1931. Different models were built based on the vehicle: flatbed trucks, omnibuses, fire engines, ambulances<ref>[https://www.zr.ru/archive/zr/1928/01/vnimaniie-riemontu-mashin ''Historical newspaper article on the ambulance version from 1928'']. zr.ru, {{in lang |ru}}</ref> and armored versions for the military.

==History==
Produced under licence, the production of the truck was originally meant to begin shortly after the [October Revolution](/source/October_Revolution) in 1917. Because of the events of the [First World War](/source/First_World_War), AMO initially had to limit itself to assembling components purchased from Fiat. Independent series production of the AMO-F-15, which was a replica of the Fiat F-15, did not begin until 1924.<ref>Schugurow (1993): page 54.</ref>

Various changes were made to the vehicle over the course of the production history. Between 1925 and 1926 the shape of the radiator changed, 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.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.autogallery.org.ru/amof15.htm | title=Oldtimer gallery.

Up to 1931, 6,285 trucks were produced, 3,227 of them in the penultimate year of production.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.autogallery.org.ru/amof15.htm | title=Oldtimer gallery. Trucks.
