The '''Common Utility Vehicle Heavy''' (CUVH) is a family of [[wikipedia:truck_classification#heavy_duty|heavy duty]] [[wikipedia:military_vehicle|military]] [[wikipedia:truck|trucks]]. Designed specifically for military use, the four-vehicle family can carry either cargo or troops, possessing a capacity of 6.7-22 tonnes or 24-40 fully-armed soldiers. The trucks can be lightly armored, though this reduces cargo capacity. The four models vary in size, but all use a simple design that uses parts that are 80% [[wikipedia:interchangeable_parts|interchangeable]] with the other models, and that are 20% interchangeable with the parts of the [[wikipedia:ACMAT|Common Utility Vehicle Light/Medium (CUVL)]]. The models are the [[wikipedia:four-wheel_drive|4x4]] (capacity: 5 tons armored, 6.7 tons unarmored; full body armored), [[wikipedia:six-wheel_drive|6x6 light]] (capacity: 10 tons armored, 12 tons unarmored; full body armored), [[wikipedia:six-wheel_drive|6x6 heavy]] (capacity: 15 tons armored, 16 tons unarmored; only cab armored), and [[wikipedia:eight-wheel_drive|8x8]] (capacity: 20 tuns armored, 21 tons unarmored; only cab armored).

The [[Rennes Corporation]] designed the CUVH on contract from the [[Common Armament Program]] to supplement Rennes' highly successful CUVL. The company designed the trucks from 1979-1981, and has produced the vehicles since that time. It is estimated that over three thousand CUVHs exist at this time; they are the standard heavy utility trucks of nearly every EPTO nation. The CUVH and CUVL together replaced nearly all logistics vehicles in EPTO militaries, altogether making obsolete over twenty vehicle lines. Upgrades have been made to the CUVH and CUVL over time, notably in terms of armor, but the vehicles have remained effective largely because of their simple, interchangeable design. There are a number of variants to the CUVL including civilian variants, firefighting variants, a variant hosting a surface-to-air missile system ([[CUVH-MS]]), and a variant hosting a rocket artillery system ([[CUVH-RAS]]). There are over 8000 CUVH models when including these variants. The CUVH firefighting vehicle is the most plentiful variant, being amongst the most popular firefighting vehicles in the world.

All three of these variants are now in common use in [[EPTO]] militaries, and the CUVH-FFV is also in common use in civilian fire departments across the world. There are estimated to be over 8,000 CUVHs across the world, though over 4,000 of these vehicles are believed to be FFVs or other less common civilian variants. Production of the CUVH continues to this date with newer vehicles upgraded with improved mirrors, computer technology inserts, and in some cases superior armor.

The Common Utility Vehicle Heavy (CUVH) is a family of heavy duty military trucks. Designed specifically for military use, the four-vehicle family can carry either cargo or troops, possessing a capacity of 6.7-22 tonnes or 24-40 fully-armed soldiers. The trucks can be lightly armored, though this reduces cargo capacity. The four models vary in size, but all use a simple design that uses parts that are 80% interchangeable with the other models, and that are 20% interchangeable with the parts of the Common Utility Vehicle Light/Medium (CUVL). The models are the 4x4 (capacity: 5 tons armored, 6.7 tons unarmored; full body armored), 6x6 light (capacity: 10 tons armored, 12 tons unarmored; full body armored), 6x6 heavy (capacity: 15 tons armored, 16 tons unarmored; only cab armored), and 8x8 (capacity: 20 tuns armored, 21 tons unarmored; only cab armored). The 4x4 vehicle uses a V6 engine, while the remaining vehicles use a v12 engine.

The Rennes Corporation designed the CUVH on contract from the Common Armament Program to supplement Rennes' highly successful CUVL. The company designed the trucks from 1979-1981, and has produced the vehicles since that time. Every EPTO nation uses the vehicles to some extent, and most rely almost entirely upon the vehicles for heavy-duty trucking. Rennes created several new variants of the vehicle in the during the 1980s and 1990s, notably the CUVH-Firefighting Vehicle (CUVH-FFV), CUVH-Surface to Air Missile System (CUVH-SAMS), and CUVH-Rocket Artillery System (CUVH-RAS). All three of these variants are now in common use in EPTO militaries, and the CUVH-FFV is also in common use in civilian fire departments across the world. There are estimated to be over 8,000 CUVHs across the world, though over 4,000 of these vehicles are believed to be FFVs or other less common civilian variants. Production of the CUVH continues to this date with newer vehicles upgraded with improved mirrors, computer technology inserts, and in some cases superior armor.
