Pegaso BMR

The Pegaso BMR, formally the Pegaso 3560 BMR, is a six by six wheeled armoured personnel carrier produced in Spain by Enasa since 1979. BMR is the Spanish acronym of Blindado Medio sobre Ruedas, meaning medium armoured on wheels. It was originally powered by a Pegaso diesel engine of 306 horsepower and has an automatic gearbox, a torque converter, independent suspension on all six wheels, amphibious capability through two hydrojets, and can be carried by air. Many versions followed, including a basic personnel carrier, an explosive ordnance disposal vehicle, Milan and TOW tank destroyers, a combat engineer vehicle, a command post, a mortar carrier, an ambulance and an electronic warfare version. The Spanish Army, which calls it the BMR-600, later replaced the engines with 310 horsepower Scania units under the BMR 2 programme, and the Spanish, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Moroccan and Peruvian armies use it.
