Mowag – other models: the collective page of the Swiss off-road vehicles from Kreuzlingen outside the named ranges, the W 200, W 300 and W 300 A, six- and eight-cylinders of 4,916 to 5,900 cm³, gross weight 3,500 to 4,500 kg
This page gathers the Mowag vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – the 4x4 off-road truck, W 300, W 300 A and W200. Mowag, based in Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance, has built military and government off-road vehicles since the 1950s; the W ranges denote light four-wheel-drive trucks for military and civil-defence use, part of the company's programme alongside its better-known wheeled armoured vehicles.

The register lists here 4 versions from six- to eight-cylinders of 4,916 to 5,900 cm³, unladen weights from 2,910 to 3,380 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 4,500 kg, lengths from 5,800 to 5,880 mm and widths from 2,000 to 2,220 mm.
Light Mowag off-road trucks of this kind handled transport and logistics tasks in the field for the Swiss army and other users; Mowag has belonged to the defence group General Dynamics since 2003 and now operates as General Dynamics European Land Systems-Mowag.
On these off-road vehicles, the condition of the four-wheel drive, transfer case and differential locks, the engine and clutch, the frame and axles, and corrosion of the cab and load bed all count; parts for the older W ranges usually run through military-vehicle specialists.
