EE-11 Urutu

The EE-11 Urutu is a 6 x 6 armoured personnel carrier developed in the seventies by Engesa of Brazil. It used as many commercially available parts as possible. It also shares many components with the EE-9 Cascavel armoured car. The suspension includes Engesa's Boomerang double-axle rear drive. The Brazilian Marines use a modified version with propellers and more powerful engine, capable of swimming in open waters.
