The Transportpanzer Mk IV Palfrey (also known as the Palfrey Autograv) is an armoured fighting vehicle, manufactured by the Hanomag-Azal industrial group, and in common use by the Imperial and Federal Union. The Palfrey is used extensively by the Imperial & Federal Common Army as well as Federal landswehr forces as a transport vehicle, primarily used to carry infantry to the front, as well as a towing vehicle for heavy equipment and supplies. However, the Palfrey is also a very widely used vehicle, with a wide number of variants for a very diverse set of niche uses. The Palfrey is one of the most commonly produced military vehicles in the R.u.B Union, with a vast number in production for both military and some civilian uses.
