The Saurer 2DM is a truck model, which was established by the Adolph Saurer AG at Arbon in 1959. Its payload is 4.9 tonnes; it is a right hand drive. The Swiss Army used the 2DM since 1964 in several special versions such as dump trucks, snow plow or tanker for aircraft or tanks. Almost identical was the model Berna 2VM from Berna Olten. Starting in 1964, approximately 3200 units were built in all varieties. The 2DM was also sold for civilian purposes.
