Mercedes-Benz L 2636 AS
This vehicle, developed in the 1980s, can be described as a "poor man's tractor". It was created as an alternative for poor countries that could not afford the powerful yet expensive Elephant tractors made by Faun. Parts from civilian vehicles already in production, minimally modified for military use, featured heavily in the design of the L 2636 AS, which helped keep the price at an acceptable level.
