The Pegaso BLR, short for Blindado Ligero de Ruedas or light wheeled armoured vehicle, and also called the BLR-3545, was a 4x4 light armoured personnel carrier of the Spanish company ENASA-Pegaso, described as a development of the BMR-600 carrier. It entered service in 1980 and was designed for patrolling bases, surveillance and internal security tasks. It was protected against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters, had automatic extinguishers for the engine and wheels, ran on bullet resistant tyres and could mount a pusher blade at the front to remove barricades. It served with the Spanish Marines, the Air Force and the Civil Guard on surveillance and patrol missions, and was sold to Ecuador for police and public order work. Spanish units withdrew their examples at the beginning of the 2000s. A second account says the design drew in part on elements of the Thyssenkrupp Henschel UR-416 and that the Civil Guard still uses a BLR 600 version.
