Volkswagen Iltis

The Volkswagen Type 183, more commonly known as the Iltis (German for polecat), is a military light utility vehicle designed and manufactured by Volkswagen in the 1970s-80s for use by the West German military. The vehicle was also produced under licence in Canada by Bombardier Inc. for use by the militaries of Canada and Belgium.

Although the two vehicles were briefly offered simultaneously, the Type 183 effectively replaced the Type 181.
