The Saurer 2 CM is a 4x4 truck model established by the Adolph Saurer AG in 1949 with a payload of 2.5 tons. There were 222 build most of them with a loading bridge, while some were made with a fixed structure as a van. The vehicles are right-hand driven. A winch was optional. The Saurer CM2 was also built by Berna and FBW (Franz Brozincevic Wetzikon) under their own names (FBW AX / Berna 2). The Saurer CM 2 formed the basis for other vehicles with more powerful engine and a larger payload capacity like Saurer 4CM 5t, Saurer 4CM driving school cars, Saurer Woodcarrier 4CM, 5CM 6t Saurer trucks and a mobile command center of the flab.

One is on display at the Schweizerisches Militärmuseum Full.
