The MAN KAT1 was a family of high-mobility off-road trucks made by MAN SE. The original intention was to build a family of logistics vehicles which could carry full loads across severe terrain whilst keeping up with modern main battle tanks.[1]
The first model produced was 8x8; 6x6 and 4x4 variants followed.[2]
The original KAT1 evolved into the MAN SX.[3] A few ex-military MAN KAT1 vehicles are released onto the second-hand market in Germany.[4]
