Produced by GKN Sankey Ltd, the FV432 series of vehicles has run almost as many variants as the M113. The driver is seated to the right front next to the engine. The five road wheels on each side are rubber tired, and mounted on torsion bar suspension. The manganese track plates are rubber padded and rubber bushed which makes it street adaptable. Crew compartment is in the rear entered into by a large rear door. The 432 has NBC protection. The side seats in the rear are removable for more room if needed.
