The FBW Dreiachskipper Type 80-N is a military vehicle of the Swiss vehicle manufacturer Franz Brozincevic & Cie. It was one of the last trucks built by Franz Brozincevic Wetzikon.

In 1976, a single truck was made and from 1976 to 1990 the Swiss Army used it with the M number M+81287. It never entered mass production, because the Army bought 330 of the dump trucks D from Adolph Saurer. The only vehicle is today in the Military Museum Full. The FBW Type 80 was one of the last designed Trucks from FBW.[1]
