AMZ Tur

Tur (Tur 1) () is a light infantry mobility vehicle designed by the Polish factory AMZ-Kutno in 2007. The Tur was designed for intervention and patrol tasks behind front lines, specially equipped for operations in dangerous areas. It has a five person transport capacity.

Design The vehicle was developed especially for the Polish military contingents in Iraq and Afghanistan in response to requests of the soldiers stationed there. Its design and armour allows it to withstand an explosion equal to of TNT.

The mechanical part of the vehicle (engine, transmission, suspension) comes mostly from Iveco. Mateusz J. Multarzyński, Tur gotów do udziału w programie LOSP in: nowa Technika Wojskowa, June 2008, p.22

It is designed as a safer and more modern alternative to the Humvee operated by the Polish Land Forces. Despite needs of military contingents, as for 2009 no orders were made, and a contest for a light armoured patrol car (LOSP in Polish) was not settled (its main counterpart is Iveco LMV). As of 2008, five prototypes were made, two of them were destroyed in tests. The last, fifth one has modified look of a forward part, and minor improvements. In 2008, AMZ-Kutno developed a new, bigger variant Tur II.https://hero.epa.gov/hero/index.cfm/reference/details/reference_id/8322995 Two prototype Tur 3 vehicles completed mobility trials with the National Security Guard.https://www.army-technology.com/projects/tur-vehicle/ A single Tu IV prototype was developed for the Indonesian National Guard.
