It had a Pegaso 306hp diesel engine, automatic gearbox, torque converter, independent suspension in all six wheels and it was able to go into water and be airbone. It received different kind of weapons and there was also a field ambulance version. It could be fully amphibious, as two hydrojets for displacement in water were an optional equipment.

Pegaso BMRs are or were used by Spanish, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, and Moroccan Armies.

The Spanish Army BMRs have been instrumental in the performance of Spanish forces in international interventions in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon. In the last years all of them had their original Pegaso engines replaced by new 310hp Scania ones.
