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
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.
With gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 4,500 kg, these vehicles fall into EU class N2 (3.5 to 12 t); as military off-road vehicles in army service, however, they were not subject to the civilian rules on tachographs, driving and rest times or tolls that apply to commercial trucks of this weight class. Characteristic of this design is the combination of four-wheel drive, a transfer case with a low-range gear, and differential locks, needed for difficult terrain.
