The M48A2 Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) was used by the Bundeswehr from 1960 onwards in a quantity of approximately 100 units.
A hydraulic bridge system was mounted on the hull of the M48A2 main battle tank to attach the 19.2 meter long bridge.
For this purpose, the turret of the tank was removed and the opening to the fighting compartment was covered with a plate, which had two hatches for the driver and the commander.
The relocated bridge made it possible to safely cross trenches and small rivers up to 15 meters wide.
Until the introduction of the Leopard 1-based “Biber” armored bridging vehicle in 1974, the M48A2 was the standard bridging vehicle for armored engineer companies.
These proven vehicles remained in service with many armored engineer companies until the early 1990s.

El M48A2 Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) fue utilizado por el Bundeswehr a partir de 1960 en una cantidad aproximada de 100 unidades.
Se montó un sistema de puente hidráulico en el casco del carro de combate principal M48A2 para fijar el puente de 19,2 metros de longitud.
Para ello, se desmontó la torreta del carro y se cubrió la abertura al compartimento de combate con una placa, que tenía dos escotillas para el conductor y el comandante.
El puente reubicado permitía cruzar con seguridad trincheras y pequeños ríos de hasta 15 metros de ancho.
Hasta la introducción del vehículo blindado de puente «Biber» basado en el Leopard 1 en 1974, el M48A2 fue el vehículo de puente estándar para las compañías de ingenieros blindados.
Estos vehículos probados permanecieron en servicio con muchas compañías de ingenieros blindados hasta principios de 1990.
