On 1 November 1926, the grouping was disbanded and the next day its personnel and vehicles were used to from the 11th Automobilistic Center in Palermo.

The regiment was declared lost due to wartime events on 22 July 1943, when the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division reached Palermo.

The unit was tasked with the transport of fuel, ammunition, and materiel between the military region's depots and the logistic supply points of the army's divisions and brigades.
