Fotogalerija Univerzalni nosilec T-16, The Universal Carrier, also known as the Bren Gun Carrier from the light machine gun armament, is a common name describing a family of light armoured tracked vehicles built by Vickers-Armstrong and other companies. The first carriers – the Bren Carrier and the Scout Carrier with specific roles – entered service before the war, but a single improved design that could replace these, the Universal, was introduced in 1940. The vehicle was used widely by British Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. Universal Carriers were usually used for transporting personnel and equipment, mostly support weapons, or as machine gun platforms. With some 113,000 built by 1960 in the United Kingdom and abroad, it is the most produced armoured fighting vehicle in history
Različica T-16: The Carrier, Universal, T16, Mark I. was a significantly improved vehicle based upon those built by Ford of Canada, manufactured under Lend Lease by Ford in the United States from March 1943 to 1945. It was longer than the Universal with an extra road wheel on the rear bogie, the engine was a Ford Mercury delivering the same power. Instead of the steering wheel controlling the combination brake/warp mechanism, the T-16 had track-brake steering operated by levers (two for each side). During the war, it was chiefly used by Canadian forces as an artillery tractor. After the war, was used by Argentine, Swiss (300) and Netherlands forces.

V Univerzalni nosilec T-16 je bilo lahko oklepno vozilo, ki ga je razvil Ford v ZDA kot izboljšano različico britanskega univerzalnega prevoznika. Med drugo svetovno vojno so ga kanadske sile uporabljale predvsem kot topniški traktor, služil pa je tudi kot transporter za osebje, mitraljez ali nosilec minometov. T-16 je imel tričlansko posadko in je lahko prevažal do pet potnikov. Poganjal ga je motor Ford V8, ki mu je omogočal največjo hitrost 51 km / h in operativni doseg 256 km.
V T-16 je imel spredaj nameščeno lahko strojnico Bren ali protitankovsko puško Boys, lahko pa je namestil tudi mitraljez Vickers, strojnico M2 Browning ali 2-palčni ali 3-palčni minomet. T-16 je imel pravokoten zadnji del, ki je zagotavljal več prostora za posadko in tovor kot prejšnji modeli Universal Carriers. T-16 je imel tanek oklep od 7 do 12 mm, ki ga je lahko zaščitil pred ognjem osebnega orožja in šrapneli. T-16 je bil proizveden od marca 1943 do 1945 in izdelanih je bilo okoli 13.000 enot. T-16 je bilo vsestransko in zanesljivo vozilo, ki je igralo pomembno vlogo pri podpori zavezniškim vojakom med vojno.
