The MAN HX was ordered by the UK Defence Procurement Agency in October 2004 to fulfill the British Army's need of a support vehicle. Several variants of the HX60 are made and the HX60 is distributed to a number of operators around the world.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The HX60 is only used by the British Army as their standard transport and logistics vehicle.
- The number of crew and passengers that a HX60 can hold depends on the variant. The crew has no protection and as such, is extremely exposed.
- The HX60 has no armament at all. The vehicle must be protected by infantry or fire support vehicles, or simply kept away from enemy controlled areas.
- The HX60 has almost non-existent armor, and can be quickly destroyed by .50 cal ammunition and RPG-7 fire. Even small arms fire can disable the engine and destroy the tires relatively easily. Keep this vehicle out of danger if at all possible.
- For more information, see "Loading and Unloading Supplies" section of Logistic System.
