Bucher Duro

PRESS MUTE NOW! BAD MUSIC ALERT! Promo vid for the Bucher Duro ATV, a Swiss built 4x4 and 6x6 multipurpose vehicle. Thunderbirds Are Go! Bought by Mowag in 2003 the vehicle shown is now the Mowag Duro II 4x4 For those of you that think this vehicle should have more armour or be more like a Humvee check out the products section at http://www.mowag.ch and look at the Piranha and the Eagle. The reason this truck is not more heavily armoured or more like a Humvee is that it has to be good off road to get around the mountains of central Europe. Things with more armour and indeed Humvees are fine on the flat and for following tanks across mine fields but are bloomin' useless at being carried by helicopters, rock climbing, grinding through forests, driving up river beds and crossing swamps hence the Duro and other swamp monkeys like the Pinzgauer and Unimog, the latter 2 not shown here. Also not shown here are things with more armour and definitely no Humvees. The brief for this vehicle is that it's relatively small and light, adaptable and that it needs no special skills to drive, so that teenagers doing their National Service can jump in, drive it up a mountain / forest / swamp without killing themselves or the truck and can make a nice brew in the back when they get there.
