The transportpanzer Fuchs 1 (“armored transport Fox 1”) is a lightly-armored six-wheeled APC, in service with the German army since 1979. The driver (on the left) and vehicle commander (on the right) sit in a cab at the front of the vehicle, with a good view through a windshield over the short hood. A steel shutter can be lowered over the windshield for protection and three periscopes are provided for the driver to see at such times. An image-intensifying optic (gives Colorblindness, Night Vision 4, No Depth Perception, and No Peripheral Vision) is also provided for the driver. Access to the cab is through a large door on either side. Above the commander’s seat is a roof hatch with a flexible mount which usually holds an MG3 machine gun (GURPS High-Tech, p. 134) with 250 rounds. A DR 25 gun-shield can be fitted around this hatch. Inside the cab, the commander has a medium radio (GURPS High-Tech, p. 38). The rear compartment has rows of seats facing inwards along each side. Access is through large double doors at the back of the vehicle, or the three roof hatches. Six smoke dischargers (GURPS High-Tech, p. 229) are mounted on the left side of the hull. Propulsion in water is provided by two screw propellers behind the rear wheels.
The Sanfuchs (Occ 2+6) is an ambulance version, with space for four stretchers.
The Spürfuchs (“Tracking Fox”) ABC (Occ 2+10S) is an NBC reconnaissance vehicle.
The Fuchs Milan (Loc g6W2X) has a mount for a Milan ATGM on the roof.
The Fuchs 2 is an upgraded version with a more powerful engine and stronger suspension, available from 2005.
