The TPz Fuchs, from Transportpanzer Fuchs, is a German armoured personnel carrier originally developed by Daimler-Benz and manufactured and further developed by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles. It was the second wheeled armoured vehicle to enter service with the Bundeswehr, the West German military, and can be used for troop transport, engineer transport, bomb disposal, nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance, and electronic warfare; its manufacturers built 1,236 Fuchs 1 vehicles, mostly for the German Army. Further development produced the Fuchs 2, first shown in 2001, which remains in production, with customers including the Algerian Army, the Kuwait Army, and the United Arab Emirates Army.
