TPz-1 FUCHS

In 1964, the West German Army, the Bundeswehr, requested a family of armoured vehicles that had the same mechanical components and covered a wide range of missions, from troop transport to reconnaissance missions. In 1967, Daimler-Benz began the development of an armoured personnel carrier (APC) that would culminate in 1969 with the presentation of two prototypes, which would be followed by ten more between 1974 and 1976. After demanding tests, in December 1976 the contract was signed for the acquisition of 996 6×6 Transportpanzer 1 Fuchs.
