The Saxon AT105 is a 4-wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) used by the British Army and supplied in small numbers to several countries overseas. Developed by GKN Sankey Corporation (GKN Defense) as a private venture to be a low cost APC, the vehicle is constructed on a Bedford 4x4 truck body with a commercial-grade engine and transmission system. The first prototype was made ready in 1976 with production vehicles following in that year. Its design made of many common and widely available components in use across other British Army vehicles and that facet proved a high selling point for the British military when inking the contract. The logic toward military standardization and economy of spares and repair operations has also made the AT105 an attractive option to European markets.
