The company, known for its wheeled vehicles, built the Turhan to answer the HAF's need for an urban assault vehicle to support its infantry in urban environments. The vehicle acted as an Armored Personnel Carrier, deploying troops from its large infantry transport bay.<ref name=TRO3075>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 172-173, "Turhan Profile"</ref>
