Pinzgauer High-Mobility All-Terrain Vehicle – Photos & Video

Čaj Pinzgauer je porodica visoko pokretljivih all-terena 4WD (4×4) i 6WD (6×6) vojnih komunalnih vozila. Nedavno su proizvedeni u Guildfordu u Surreyu, Engleska od strane BAE Systems Land & Armaments. Vozilo je prvobitno razvijeno krajem šezdesetih godina prošlog veka i proizvelo ga je Stejr-Dajmler-Puč iz Graca u Austriji, a dobilo je ime po Pinzgaueru, austrijskoj rasi konja. Bila je popularna među vojnim kupcima, a nastavila se i u proizvodnji tokom ostatka veka. Godine 2000. prava su prodata Automotive Technik d.o.o. (ATL) u Velikoj Britaniji. ATL je naknadno preuzeo Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc. 2005. u maju 2006, Stewart & Stevenson su postali podružnica aerospace i odbrambene grupe Armor Holdings, Inc.. Godinu dana kasnije, Armor Holdings je preuzeo BAE Systems plc, koji je prekinut sa proizvodnjom Pinzgauera u Velikoj Britaniji, za koji se pokazalo da je podložan minama i improvizovanim eksplozivnim napravama u Avganistanu. Razvojni rad (urađen u Velikoj Britaniji) na planiranom PinzgauerU II procenila je podružnica BAE u Benoni, Gautengu, Južnoj Africi, ali nijedno vozilo nikada nije napravljeno.
