The General Purpose Vehicles (GPV) company, based in New Haven, Michigan, has developed a system of wheeled medium tactical vehicles, which include a family of trucks and a family of armoured personnel carriers. The armoured personnel carriers are: the 4 x 4 x 4 Sentry, 6 x 6 x 6 Commander, short 8 x 8 x 8 Captain, long 8 x 8 x 8 Colonel and 10 x 10 x 10 General.

The GPV Colonel 8 x 8 x 8 variant has a combat weight of 24.5t, length 8.11m and carries up to 16 equipped troops. The 8 x 8 x 8 Captain is 0.15m shorter, with a length of 7.96m.

The GPV vehicles have a maximum speed of 101km/h on a metalled road.

In 2004, the United States Army Tank Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) acquired the Major (designated as the MTV A1+ by the US Army) 8 x 8 x 8 truck variant for trials. The tactical truck can also be built in 4 x 4 x 4, 6 x 6 x 6, and 10 x 10 x 10 configurations. The tactical trucks share 95% commonality of parts with the armoured personnel carriers.

The FNSS Savunma Sistemleri company, based in Turkey, has developed the Pars or Leopard family of armoured fighting vehicles in a co-operative program with GPV.
