Der Steyr 680 des Österreichischen Bundesheeres
The Steyr 680 became the main transport vehicle of the Austrian Armed Forces from the late 1960s. It was used mainly for carrying supplies and troops, offering space for a driver, co-driver, and up to 18 soldiers.
Based on civilian models, the military version was adapted to army needs and replaced the less powerful Steyr 580 g.
Two versions were produced: a two-axle and a three-axle truck. The initial two-axle model proved insufficient compared with the American GMC, leading to the introduction of a three-axle version.
In nearly 40 years of service, the Steyr 680 became, alongside the Haflinger and Pinzgauer, one of Austria's most iconic military vehicles, familiar to generations of soldiers.
