PUCH Pinzgauer 712

1971 – 1985 — GERMANY

The Pinzgauer is a versatile family of high-mobility all-terrain vehicles designed to operate as 4WD (4x4) and 6WD (6x6) military utility vehicles. Originating in the late 1960s, these vehicles were initially produced by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria and are named after the Pinzgauer cattle breed native to Austria. Later, production shifted to BAE Systems Land & Armaments in Surrey, England, where the vehicles continued to be manufactured, catering to the needs of military customers and maintaining production until the end of the 20th century. In the year 2000, the rights to the Pinzgauer vehicles were transferred to Automotive Technik Ltd (ATL), a company based in the UK specializing in automotive engineering. Subsequently, ATL was acquired by Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc., establishing a new ownership structure for the Pinzgauer line of vehicles. Key Points: 1.
