CA-18
Tank car designed to transport automotive and aviation gasoline, diesel fuel and aviation kerosene. A tank trailer can be attached behind the vehicle CP-11.
The tanker is equipped with a pumping and metering unit. The pumping unit is powered by the vehicle's engine and allows filling and emptying of its own fuel tank. The tank is made of polyester fiberglass with a wall thickness of about 7.5 mm.
CA-18s were introduced into the CSLA armament as a replacement for the older type CA-17. The development was carried out in the first half of the 1980s at ZTS VVÚ Košice. Production of the CA-18 started in 1984. The first CA-18s were delivered to the CSLA military units probably in 1985. A total of 114 examples were produced until 1989.
In Slovakia, some of the used CA-18s were reconstructed. The most obvious difference in the modified Slovak tankers is the replacement of the original fiberglass tank with a steel tank meeting ADR (European Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) standards.
CA-18 was introduced into the arsenal in the second half of the 1980s by the East German Army. After the reunification of Germany in the very early 1990s, they ended up in the ranks of the Bundeswehr, which disposed of them very quickly. At this time, Operation Desert Shield (the preparatory stage before Operation Desert Storm) was underway, and the Americans had complications in Saudi Arabia in logistically supporting their forces due to insufficient trucks, tank transporters or tankers. Thus, the originally East German CA-18s "rolled" their way into the ranks of the U.S. military in the Arabian Peninsula. A total of 17 CA-18 tankers were to be delivered to the Americans. After the war ended, these vehicles were then turned over to the Greek Army.
