С середины 1930-х годов, Guy Motors стал принимать более активное участие в британской программе перевооружения, разработке и производстве военной техники. Одно из направлений программы было создание артиллерийского тягача - Field Artillery tractor (F.A.T.) В 1935 году Guy Motors представил бронированный автомобиль Ant на испытания, которые оказались успешными. Guy переключился на производстве военной техники и с 1938 Guy Motors полагался исключительно на государственные заказы. Созданный Quad Ant имел сварной корпус. К производству были подключены Ford Motor Company Канады Ltd а также с GM ( General Motors продукты (Chevrolet) В разработке и производстве аналогичного тягача принимали участие Morris Commercial и Karrier Canadian Military Pattern (CMP, или Канадский Военный Дизайн) производился в огромных количествах в период Второй Мировой войны для использования в армиях союзников Великобритании. В начале 1937 г., Ford Motor Company Canada и General Motors of Canada получили заказ от Канадского Министерства Обороны на разработку легкого пехотного грузовика. В 1939 г. семейство канадских военных грузовиков, удовлетворяющих британским нормам, было готово к производству. Грузовики получили обозначение "Department of National Defence (DND) Pattern" (Дизайн Министерства Национальной Обороны"), затем было решено переименовать модельный ряд в "Canadian Military Pattern (CMP)" ("Канадский Военный Дизайн"). Большее количество грузовиков CMP было произведено канадскими отделениями Chevrolet и Ford . На стандартизованные грузовики Ford и Chevrolet устанавливалась одна и та же кабина. Кабины разработаны Сидом Сваллоу (Sid Swallow ) из Ford.
From the mid-1930s, the company became increasingly involved in the British rearmament programme, developing and producing military vehicles. In 1935 Guy submitted their new four wheel Ant armoured car to military trials where it impressed and 150 were ordered by the government. After this success Guy began to concentrate solely on the production of military vehicles and by 1938 Guy relied exclusively on Government contracts and had ended civilian productions. During this time Guy designed a new armoured car, the Quad Ant, which was welded rather than riveted together. In 1935 Guy Motors was invited to take part in army trials at Llangollen. The company submitted the 'Ant', a new 4-wheeled vehicle with a payload of 15 cwt., and a short wheelbase. After performing well at the trial, Guy received an order for 150. The 'Ant' used many 'Wolf' and 'Vixen' components, and had large section tyres for improved road traction, and greater ground clearance. The 'Ant' was capable of running on steep and sharp gradients, and could operate in axle-deep mud or sand. Development of the vehicle continued with the launch of the 'Quad Ant' , a 4x4 with an all steel, fully enclosed body, and seating for the driver, a commander, and a crew of 4. It had built-in ammunition lockers, and a crash bar across the radiator on which a winch cable could be hooked. The 'Quad Ant' could haul loads of 6 to 14 tons, up gradients of 1 in 2. They were mainly used as gun tractors, pulling 17 or 25 pound guns. Some also pulled anti-tank guns In 1937 the War Department identified a need for a new FAT to supplement, and then replace, the Light Dragon and Morris CDSWs then in service. A specification was issued for a four-wheeled, four-wheel drive vehicle, with winch, on a short chassis. Guy Motors produced their design quite quickly using existing components, and Morris followed with theirs. It was a totally new, but conventional, design evolved from the CS8. The ministry for the British war, required of Guy Motor to develop an artillery tractor for the guns of 18 and 25 pdr. This firm delivered in 1938 a curious vehicle which the troop baptized quickly "ant". This machine had a good clearance to increase its aptitudes in cross-country and its short wheelbase made it possible to increase its steering. The pilot was installed very in front to facilitate his vision and the back of the vehicle was bevelled to facilitate the operation of the gun. Its crew was composed of 6 men. The mass production of this vehicle was entrusted to Ford (Ford Motor Company of Canada Ltd)(but also with GM (General Motors Products (Chevrolet) ) which carried out a great number of it. Wartime manufacture of field artillery tractors ( or quads ) by British manufacturers fell short of requirements and approximately 5000 vehicles were built. Canadian manufacturing resources were called upon to supply the needs of the War Office. Chevrolet and Ford of Canada produced a series of quads based on the British design, both with similar bodies but with their own engines, transmission and running gear. The CMP FAT (Field Artillery Tractor), officially the Chevrolet 8440/CGT Tractor, 4x4, Field Artillery, was an artillery tractor of the British and Commonwealth forces during World War II. CMP stood for Canadian Military Pattern and was applied to a number of trucks, artillery tractors and utility vehicles built in Canada that combined British design requirements with North American automotive engineering. As with other FATs, the CMP was usually used to tow either the 25 pounder gun-howitzer or the 17 pounder anti-tank gun. A power winch was located above the rear axle for manouvring the gun or unbogging the vehicle. The first models were produced in 1940/41 and the body went through a number of design changes throughout the war. The CMP was a Canadian army truck, used during WW2. These trucks were designed and manufactured in Canada and employed for all sorts of purposes. For transport of crew and material, tank-car for water en petrol, mobile workshop, tractor for canons, self propelled, radio-car with send/receiver.
