Facts about the AMPV
The AMPV was developed based on Bundeswehr requirements for a modern command and utility vehicle. Its self-supporting safety cell in conjunction with adaptive protective elements provides the crew with the highest-possible level of protection from ballistic threats, artillery shrapnel, mines and explosives. It has space for 4–5 crew members and is prepared to accommodate a wide variety of equipment kits. The work station design corresponds to current ergonomic requirements.
This and the state-of-the-art interior air conditioning equipment ensure a high level of endurance. Automatic transmission, automatic locking management and a single-wheel suspension specifically developed for military applications enable safe on-road driving behaviour and the best off-road mobility. This and the wide field of vision of the undivided panes of bulletproof glass allow the crew to optimally concentrate on its tasks on the battlefield.
