Some of these trucks are not in service with Pakistan, rather they seem of some other country. Turkish or some European service ones.

PA Uses wide variety of trucks of different origins:

Europeans mostly for tank transporters, towing heavy artillery pieces and some small ones in different roles.

Japanese Isuzu & Hino trucks.

UD Nissan trucks.

American old ones, the 2 1/2 tons variant and some others.

Local Pakistan made Yasoob trucks (production stopped after few hundred trucks provided)

Chinese ones mostly in the TEL role for cruise missile and ballistic missile role.

Names of the companies whose trucks are being used:

Unimog

Mercedes-Benz

UD Nissan

Iveco

Isuzu

Hino

American trucks of different make, but old designs.

Pakistan made Yasoob trucks.

Land Rover Defender Jeeps in different configurations

it is only a luxury with Pakistan Army to have different types of trucks, 4x4 vehicles, utility vehicles. a nightmare for logisticians to support so differnt and divergent type of systems.
why Yasoob project was cancelled.
in 70s, Pakistan was able to produce its own jeep 'Nishan', but then project was shelved.

I like indians in this regard, thier inclination towards austerity, soldiers and general alike use Suzuki Potohar.:what:

Army should go for standardization of vehicles so that we have less numerous vehicles, same chassis, different jobs.

Yasoob got canceled most probably due to the corruption element, as it would have made import stopped or reduced a lot. As Yasoob 6X6 is one beast truck, when it comes by you or if you see it in your car's back mirror, it makes you get on the side and let it pass. It was a perfect choice for heavy duty like towing of artillery guns, ammo transport and as a tank transporter.

A 4X4 version was also planned but after supposedly 350-400 were manufactured, it was canceled. Reportedly a few export orders were also received but never delivered.

The recent Toyota and Mitsubishi pick ups are very good additions, as these vehicles are proving their worth and would not give problems, but the Land Rover Defender class vehicles was not a clean deal.

Hope the army top brass learn what you said, but a miracle would be required.

We have lot of vehicles, but Army's mechanical and electrical engineering base is strong and they have been maintaining these vehicles and making spare parts locally where required.

But it seems with passage of time, the standardization will come, now defenders are not being procured more, rather the pickups are now becoming the work horse, similarly, standardization in heavy vehicles is also required. Hope the Yasoob project is started again, it was one hell of a beast.
