PUCH Pinzgauer

The Pinzgauer is a family of high-mobility all-terrain 4WD and 6WD military utility vehicles. The vehicle was originally developed in the late 1960s and manufactured by Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Graz, Austria, and was named after the Pinzgauer, an Austrian breed of cattle. They were most recently manufactured at Guildford, Surrey, England, by BAE Systems Land & Armaments. It was popular amongst military buyers, with production continuing until 2007.
In 2000 the rights to the desk were sold to Automotive Technik Ltd in the UK. ATL was acquired by Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc. in 2005. In May 2006, Stewart & Stevenson became a subsidiary of the aerospace and defence group Armor Holdings, Inc. In 2007 Armor Holdings was acquired by BAE Systems plc, who discontinued UK production of the Pinzgauer, which was proving to be vulnerable to mines and improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan. Production ceased around 2009. Development work on a planned Pinzgauer II was evaluated by a BAE subsidiary in Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa, but no vehicle was ever made....
