The Saurer D 330 N is a truck model, which established by the Adolph Saurer AG at Arbon in 1979. The Saurer D330N prevailed over the FBW 80N in the evaluation. The Swiss Army used these trucks in engineer/sapper and rescue units. One is on display at the Schweizerisches Militärmuseum Full, and another one at the Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte.
