The C15TA Armoured Truck was developed by GM Canada along a concept lines of the American M3 Scout Car. The vehicle used the chassis of the Chevrolet C15A Canadian Military Pattern truck design. Between 1943 and 1945 a total of 3,961 units were built in Oshawa, Ontario. Armoured hulls were supplied by the Hamilton Bridge Company

The C15TA was used by the British and Canadian units in the Northwest Europe campaign as armoured personnel carrier and ambulance. After the end of the hostilities, many vehicles were left in Europe and were subsequently employed by armies of the liberated European countries, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway. In addition about 150 were sold by Canada to Spain. Trucks left by the British forces in Vietnam were taken over by the French, which used them in Indochina and later transferred to South Vietnam. Many C15TAs were employed by the police forces of the Federation of Malaya. In 1955 Portugal received a number of vehicles, which were later used in the African wars. Some vehicles remained in service until the 1960s.
