During World War Two, the British Wheeled Vehicle Experimental Establishment (WVEE) had the job of testing the performance of all wheeled, halftrack and amphibian vehicles, as well as motorcycles, trailers, tyres, and components of these vehicles. They were also given the dual task of conducting experiments on captured enemy vehicles.
