Fire Resistant Paints & Coating

Advanced fire-resistant paints and coatings are engineered to slow the spread of fire during an explosion or blast. By limiting flame propagation and reducing smoke generation inside the vehicle, they significantly improve occupant safety and survivability.

Modular & Mission-Ready Interior

The spacious, ergonomically designed cabin has a dual air-conditioning system for enhanced crew comfort. Its modular interior can be configured to accommodate a wide range of mission-specific equipment and operational requirements. In its ambulance configuration, the vehicle can carry up to four stretchers along with essential medical equipment and a first-aid kit.

Troop Carrier Compartment

Designed for operational efficiency, the crew compartment accommodates the driver and commander, while the spacious troop compartment carries up to six fully equipped infantry personnel. Integrated storage spaces provide secure and convenient stowage for troops' personal gear and mission-essential equipment, keeping critical items readily accessible during operations.

Tubeless Tyres with Run-Flat Inserts

Advanced run-flat insert technology enables the vehicle to continue operating despite tyre damage or complete air loss. By maintaining vehicle stability and mobility, the system enhances crew survivability and ensures mission effectiveness in hostile environments.

Bullet-Resistant & Blast-Resistant Glass

High-strength ballistic and blast-resistant glass provides superior protection while maintaining excellent visibility. The troop compartment is fitted with ballistic glass windows and protective mesh grilles, while the crew cabin features bullet-resistant side windows. Multiple side and rear access doors ensure quick and safe embarkation and disembarkation during operations.

Dual-Chamber Headlamps

High-performance dual-chamber headlamps offer exceptional brightness and wide-area illumination, improving visibility and situational awareness during nighttime operations and in low-visibility environments.

Fog Lamps & Convoy Lamps

Advanced fog lamps provide clear visibility in fog, rain, and dust, while integrated blackout convoy lamps emit a diffused, low-intensity beam that allows vehicles to maintain formation during night operations with minimal visual signature, enhancing tactical concealment and operational security.
