**Tur** (Tur 1) (Polish: *[Aurochs](/source/Aurochs)*) is a light [infantry mobility vehicle](/source/Infantry_mobility_vehicle) designed by the Polish factory [AMZ-Kutno](/source/AMZ-Kutno) in 2007. The Tur was designed for intervention and patrol tasks behind front lines, specially equipped for operations in dangerous areas. It has a five person transport capacity.

## Design

The vehicle was developed especially for the Polish military contingents in [Iraq](/source/Iraq) and [Afghanistan](/source/Afghanistan) in response to requests of the soldiers stationed there. Its design and armour allows it to withstand an explosion equal to 6 kg (13 lb) of [TNT](/source/Trinitrotoluene).[1] It may be fitted with a remote turret. The mechanical part of the vehicle (engine, transmission, suspension) comes mostly from [Iveco](/source/Iveco).[2]

It is designed as a safer and more modern alternative to the [Humvee](/source/Humvee) operated by the [Polish Land Forces](/source/Polish_Land_Forces).[1] Despite needs of military contingents, as for 2009 no orders were made, and a contest for a light armoured patrol car (LOSP in Polish) was not settled (its main counterpart is [Iveco LMV](/source/Iveco_LMV)). As of 2008, five prototypes were made, two of them were destroyed in tests. The last, fifth one has modified look of a forward part, and minor improvements.[2] In 2008, AMZ-Kutno developed a new, bigger variant Tur II.[3] Two prototype Tur 3 vehicles completed mobility trials with the [National Security Guard](/source/National_Security_Guard).[4] A single Tu IV prototype was developed for the Indonesian National Guard.[5] The Tur V and Tur VI were unveiled at the International Defense Exhibition in Poland (MSPO).[6] In 2018 the AMZ Tur VI went into production.[7] The Tur VII was introduced in 2022, along with a medical evacuation variant.[8][9]
