Approximately 3,400 examples of this vehicle were produced in its course. The drive was provided by a single Gardnem Diesel engine with 102 HP.
The Scammell Pioneer was originally developed as the primary means of transport and artillery tractor for British troops stationed primarily in colonies. The vehicle was suitable for off-road use, it was characterized by high mobility, durable suspension and considerable towing capacity. Several versions of this car were created in the course of production. One of the more produced was the artillery tractor version (Pioneer R100) and the technical assistance vehicle (Pioneer SV1T and SV2S). There was also a tractor version for damaged tanks with a carrying capacity of 20 tons (Pioneer TRCU20) and 30 tons (Pioneer TRCU30). Scammell Pioneer trucks underwent their baptism of fire in 1940 during the campaign in France. Later, they also served, among others, in North Africa (1940-1943).
