This armored police vehicle built by Fokko van Calker was on display recently at the 2014 Fulda Meet. The prototype vehicle is used by the Luxembourg Police.

The armored police vehicle is a so called 'Sonderwagen 4 (SW 4)', a 'Thyssen TM-170' type. 'Thyssen-Maschinenbau' belongs actual to 'Rheinmetall Land Systems'. The model is produced by Rietze. The TM-170 stood and still stands in service at several police troops all over Germany (and other countries) in different colours. In addition, the TM-170 served in military forces in several countries all over the world, but not in Germany. Special thanks to Heinz Peters for this information!
