Description
The Steyr-Puch Haflinger series commenced in 1959 and continued production until 1974. They were largely designed as army transporters with the ability to travel across various surfaces and were popular in the Swiss and Austrian armies, though some made their way abroad to Australia and Indonesia among other countries. Various versions were produced, bodied for the job at hand- some open-topped, some in utility, van or armoured form. The range was quite impressive, some police forces using their capabilities, while there was even a street-cleaning version available on the same platform and an amphibious version. Australia initially received fully built-up army vehicles from Indonesia before a CKD build facility was opened locally in 1967. The Haflingers subsequently proved loyal servants for the Australian Army over many more years.
