First production hull for the new Terrier engineer tracked armoured vehicle for the British Army.

Construction has begun on the first of a new fleet of 60 tracked, armoured, earthmoving vehicles, which will give the Royal Engineers a powerful and versatile route clearing capability. Manufacture of the first production hull for the new 'Terrier' vehicle began earlier this year at BAE Systems' Newcastle factory and will be used in mine blast trials to demonstrate improved protection levels introduced by modifications resulting from experience gained on other vehicles during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The powerful Terrier tracked vehicle will be able to negotiate most terrain, and its earthmoving bucket and side-mounted excavator arm will make short work of digging and obstacle clearance tasks. The bucket can be quickly replaced with a surface mine clearance device, which, combined with a route-marking system, can be used to clear routes of surface-laid munitions.Construction has begun on the first of a new fleet of 60 tracked, armoured, earthmoving vehicles, which will give the Royal Engineers a powerful and versatile route clearing capability.
