The Armoured Command Vehicle 6x6 High Power was a vehicle manufactured by Associated Equipment Company. Used by RC Sigs during the war at Armoured Divisional Headquarters as a high power wireless control terminal for communication between main and rear corps and between main and rear div. Also served as office for members of the divisional staff. Armoured Fighting Vehicle state reports from May 1945 show them in use by 5 Canadian Armoured Division while 4 Canadian Armoured Division used the four-wheeled variants.
