The Mowag 3M1 is an armored personnel carrier from the Swiss company Mowag .

History and Development

Caused by the development project of the future German armored personnel carrier Marder , which was evaluated and tested in the various test series, Mowag developed the armored personnel carrier 3M1 Model 1 - 6, which was based on the Mowag Pirat 18 . The arrangement of the drive unit in the engine compartment, which is located in the middle of the vehicle, is very special. Another innovation was the complete production of all drive components such as the engine, gearbox, side adjustment and cooling at Mowag.

The 3M1 did not get a move. This development also gave rise to the Mowag crown mount, which was manufactured in 2000 pieces for the Marder series in Kreuzlingen and 8000 spherical bezels (gas-tight spherical firing flaps) and other products from other countries could be supplied in quantities of several thousand pieces.

The 3M1 is now in the Swiss Military Museum in Full .
