The K111 "Jeep" is a 4x4 1/4-ton utility truck developed by Kia Industries and was produced by Asia Motors for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces in 1978.

The plan was authorized on 28 September, and the Agency for Defense Development and Asia Motors were given 2 years to complete the project.

In addition, the M606 had excellent performance, simple structure, long lasting durability, and was easy to drive.

On 23 May 1977, these vehicles were presented at the Army Headquarters, but the military refused all and gave a new task to create a new style.

The test showed that the vehicle had about 40 problems, including the occasional breakdown of the MVA-2000, a militarized variant of VA-2000 engine.
