Abstract

Utility vehicle, in particular for military purposes, with a chassis and a cab arranged on it frame so that it can be tilted, and guarded in certain places by affixed armor plating. The cab has a front module and a rear module, whereby the front module has a front wall, two side walls, a rear wall, a floor and a roof forming a cabin for the driver and co-driver. The rear module has a bearer frame enclosed at least in part by walls that form a hood-like protective and stowage space for the power aggregate and other vehicle parts and accessories. The rear module is releaseably attached to the rear of the front module and supported by it. Rear armoring of the cab is implemented by armor plating fitted between its front module and rear module.
