To supply combat and support troops on the battlefield with, for instance, munitions, lubricants and fuels, in difficult terrain highly mobile cross-country vehicles are used. In 1964, under the leadership of MAN (Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, with the participation of the firms Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz, Büssing, Henschel and Krupp, the GB (joint bureau of the German commercial vehicle industry) was formed. The aim was to develop cross-country transports of the family of vehicles known as the "new generation" which were introduced in the German Army at the end of the seventies. Thanks to their all-wheel drive (6 x 6), the use of a torsion resistant box section frame and jointed axles, the 7 t mil gl category I vehicle has excellent cross-country mobility. With an air-cooled V-8 Magirus-Deutz BF 8 L 413 F engine developing 253 kW (320 hp) it can reach a top road speed of 90 km/h.
