Name
Wolf was the project name used by Land Rover. It came up in an informal Land Rover engineering meeting, the engineering director said “if we’re not careful this project is going to bite us in the arse”. The transmission manager then said “well we'd better call it Wolf then”.
The MoD designates the Wolf 90 as Truck Utility Light (TUL) and the Wolf 110 as Truck Utility Medium (TUM) High Specification (HS) and Land Rover calls it eXtra Duty (XD). The name Wolf has been adopted by soldiers as a generic term. Contrary to what many people think Wolf does not mean Wheel On Left Flank.
