FactFiat's military 4x4 almost launched as the "Alpina" — with WWII still fresh in memory, the name was dropped so it wouldn't evoke the Alpini army corps, and it became the Campagnola instead.
The Fiat Campagnola is a heavy-duty off-road vehicle produced by Fiat from 1951 to 1987, inspired by the Willys Jeep. In the early 1950s the Ministry of Defense called for tenders for a light off-road vehicle to replace the worn-out Willys MB inherited from the Allies; Fiat had secretly begun a study of a four-wheel-drive vehicle under engineer Giacosa, project "1101", called "Alpina", later renamed "Campagnola" so as not to emphasise its military use, and it responded to the tender alongside the Alfa Romeo 1900 M (Matta). Most other parts, including the 1901 cc petrol engine making 53 hp at 3700 rpm, were taken from the Fiat 1400/1900, and its top speed was 85 km/h. In 1953 the Campagnola Diesel appeared, powered like the 1400 Diesel and the 615 N light truck by a four-cylinder in-line engine of 1905 cc and a maximum of 40 hp at 3200 rpm. Civilian models were the 1101 and 1101A petrol (53–63 hp) and the 1102, 1102A, 1102B and 1102C diesels (40 to 51 hp). Zastava began building it under licence in 1954 as the AR51 (Kampanjola), with the AR55 from 1955 (9,089 military vehicles produced until 1974, nicknamed "Aerka").
