The Laffly S20 TL (French: TL - tracteur, chassis long) was a 6x6 truck developed by French vehicle manufacturer Laffly in 1935. It was built to serve as a troop carrier for the dragoon regiment of Cavalry's Light Mechanised Division (DLM). The first 140 units were delivered to the DLM in 1937.
The S20 could carry up to ten riflemen and two light machine guns, a ten-man --heavy machine gun crew, a seven-man 81mm mortar crew, a seven-man 60mm mortar crew, or an eight-man 25mm anti-tank gun crew.
