The Brazlian Engesa EE-50 truck is a development by former Brazlian manufacturer Engesa. They developed and manufactured the vehicle in the early 1980’s for the Brazlian Army as an off road truck capable of carrying 5 tons of supplies.

The vehicle did enter service with both the Brazilian and Angolan Armies, but with the debt’s incurred through the development of the EE-T1 Osório MBT, which was originally due to be purchased in the Middle East, but who later went with the US Abrams, the company filled for bankruptcy and production of the EE-50 ended.
