Zwilling, R. Boxer. The GTK Multirole Armoured Wheeled Vehicle in Modern German Army Service

The hand-over of the first GTK "Boxer"-series vehicle on 23 September 2009 opened a new chapter for the Bundeswehr in terms of highly mobile, armoured transport vehicles. Based on current plans, series production of the GTK "Boxer" Multirole Armoured Wheeled Vehicle (Gepanzertes Transport-Kraftfahrzeug) should include 272 vehicles for the German Bundeswehr and 200 vehicles for the Dutch "Koninklijke Landmacht". Within the Bundeswehr, the "Boxer" will
take over future missions currently being performed by the M113 or Transportpanzer 1 "Fuchs". From 2009 to 20016, Germany
procures 125 Armoured Personnel Carriers (Gruppentransportfahrzeuge), 65 Command Vehicles (Führungsfahrzeuge), 72 Heavy Armoured Ambulance Vehicles (schwere geschützte Sanitätskraftfahrzeuge) and 10 Driver Training Vehicles (Fahrschulfahrzeuge). All these variants are covered in great textual and pictorial detail in this publication.
