HX3 is a new series of German tactical military trucks. It's a product of Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV). The new HX3 will replace the HX and SX military trucks. Considering how many models are available, RMMV probably plans to produce these trucks in large numbers.
The HX3 tactical truck is available in 4x4, 6x6, 8x6, 8x8, and 10x10 configurations. The trucks use many commercially available automotive components. So, there are many common parts between the versions.
The smaller, 4x4 version is launched as a transport vehicle with an optional crane. It can be used for loading, carrying systems, fuel, and more.

The Rheinmetall MAN HX3 series comes with an armored cabin. It looks like the protection level is adjustable, based on the requirements of the mission. The cabin has enough space for the driver and two passengers. The vehicles can be equipped with the remotely controlled Rheinmetall SNAKE weapon turret in their roof.
The 8x6, 8x8, and 10x10 versions feature the MAN D26 diesel engine that is connected to an automatic transmission system.
