The FV432 Trojan is a British-tracked armoured personnel carrier from the post-war period. The vehicle is powered by a single-engineRolls-Royce K60with a power of 240 hp. The vehicle prototypes were created in the early 1960s, and serial production was carried out in the years 1963-1971. About 3,000 copies of this car were produced in the course of it. The armament is usually a single 7.62 mm L7 machine gun.

The FV432 is a member of the FV430 family of vehicles. The FV432 transporter was created to replace the Alvis Saracen vehicles in the line. It is able to carry up to 10 landing soldiers with full equipment, providing them with protection against small-calibre fire with a calibre of up to 12.7 mm and against fragments of artillery shells. The car can also negotiate water obstacles after prior preparation. Based on the FV432, many special-purpose vehicles have been created, such as command vehicles, ambulances or technical support vehicles. Transporters of this type were replaced in line by BAE Warrior vehicles in the 1980s and 1990s, but their specialized versions are still used by the British Army. The FV432 was used in combat, among others in Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) or during the operation in Iraq in 2003.
