The Tiuna UR-53AR50 is a Venezuelan multipurpose military vehicle, presented by CENARECA and assembled locally by Venezolana de Vehículos para la Defensa. The assembly plant is located at Fort Tiuna, Caracas, Distrito Capital, Venezuela.
The Tiuna design was created by CAVIM[citation needed] to compete with the American-made Humvee, and was first shown to the public on July 20, 2004.
Production vehicles are built with the support of companies that bring vehicle parts for their construction and co-ops that work at the Fort Tiuna Assembly Plant (VVD Headquarters). This vehicle is designed and built in Venezuela.
