Founded in 1963, this national defence association preserves the traditions of the 2nd Separate Automobile Company and is open to everyone regardless of military rank. Its roughly 1,300 members are mainly active in Southwest Finland and Satakunta. It owns a museum-registered 1906 Orient car and publishes the VETOAKSELI members' magazine.
Members can join lectures, factory visits, trips, cruises and social gatherings. Meetings and lectures take place at the Heikkilä garrison canteen. Road safety work is also part of its activities. Local branches operate in Pori and Salo-Loimaa, with a women's section across the association's area.
