The initial iteration of the Norinco Type 92 did not meet the expectations of the Chinese military, leading to significant design modifications to strengthen the chassis. Over a decade after its introduction, the upgraded Type 92 was deployed in combat in 1995.
This fully amphibious vehicle features covered propellers that enable it to traverse water effectively. Additionally, the Type 92 shares its platform with the Mercedes-Benz 2026 truck, showcasing its versatile engineering.
