The mobility of the Universal Carrier is rated as Half-tracked. On roads it can move 18"/45cm, when travelling cross country 12"/30cm and only 4"/10cm through rough terrain.

The Universal Carrier proved to be a very versatile vehicle; able to transport troops and supplies in addition to weapons such as machine-guns or mortars. The driver and commander sat in the front of the vehicle with the driver of the right hand side; the commander manned the weapon, commonly a Bren gun mounted slightly forward of the driving position.

Powered by an engine placed in the centre of the vehicle, steering was provided by the combination of small movements made on a steering wheel. This turned the front road wheels slightly to enable the vehicle to drift in that direction. Turning the steering wheel to a greater degree would brake the tracks and turn the vehicle more sharply in the appropriate direction.
