[4] The regiment's anniversary falls, as for all units of the Italian Army's Transport and Materiel Corps, on 22 May, the anniversary of the Royal Italian Army's first major use of automobiles to transport reinforcements to the Asiago plateau to counter the Austro-Hungarian Asiago Offensive in May 1916.

Like all Italian Army transport units the group was named for a historic road near its base: in the case of the 11th Maneuver Auto Group for the Roman road Via Flaminia, which connected Rome with Rimini.

The group was assigned to the Army General Staff's Service Units Command.

[1][4] On 12 November 1976, the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone granted with decree 846 the group a flag.

[3][6] On 18 June 1991, the group's 3rd Car Auto Unit became a detached unit and moved to Castro Pretorio to be closer to the Army General Staff in the center of Rome.
