PUCH Pinzgauer 718

1987 – 2000 — GERMANY

The Pinzgauer is a versatile family of high-mobility all-terrain military utility vehicles featuring both 4-wheel drive (4×4) and 6-wheel drive (6×6) configurations. Originally developed in the late 1960s by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Graz, Austria, the vehicle derives its name from the Pinzgauer, an Austrian breed of cattle. Production of the Pinzgauer shifted to Guildford in Surrey, England, under BAE Systems Land & Armaments in the late 20th century, where it remained popular among military buyers. In 2000, the manufacturing rights for the Pinzgauer were transferred to Automotive Technik Ltd (ATL) in the UK, and subsequently, ATL was acquired by Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc.
