Off-road vehicles were born out of necessity, and the legendary Jeep Willys is the best example. Conceived just before the Second World War as a light military vehicle capable of going over any terrain, durable enough to withstand bullets and explosions, and durable to survive harsh conditions, Jeep turned out to be one of the weapons that won the biggest war in history. The unique concept of a rugged, compact, and competent off-road machine evolved into the Jeep brand, the biggest producer of off-road vehicles and SUVs and a true legend of the segment.
