Passenger Vehicle or Jeep? The type 181 "Kurierwagen" from VW was an interim solution between 1969 and 1979 for the German Federal Army after the all-wheel drive diesel "Munga" and before the fully all-terrain VW "Iltis" (currently Bombardier)
The predecessor and the successor were designated as trucks; the VW 181 rates "only" as a partial military (tmil) passenger vehicle. The last 181 vehicles were retired by the German Federal Army in 2000.
