Titan armoured bridge layer

The Titan armoured bridge layer is a British military bridge-laying vehicle built on aspects of the Challenger 2 running gear, and it replaced the Chieftain Armoured Vehicle Launched Bridge in service with the Royal Engineers. It came into service in 2006, with 33 in service, and it can carry either a single 26 metre bridge or two 12 metre bridges; it can also be fitted with a bulldozer blade. It was developed at the same time as its companion vehicle, the Trojan armoured engineer vehicle, which was ordered in 2001 from Vickers Defence Systems before that business was bought by BAE Systems in 2004. The two vehicles were shown together in November 2006, and BAE Systems was to supply 66 of them to the Royal Engineers at a cost of 250 million pounds. Titan has no article of its own on English Wikipedia and is described in the Variants part of the Challenger 2 article.
