In the tail-end of the 19th century, some of the military forces brought out new models that played pivotal role to dominating the battle field. It hinged upon the use of lighter yet more lethal vehicles that can rapidly be deployed into different locations and terrains. These types of vehicles had been agile enough to react to threats and are capable of providing both protection as well as fire power.
Among these armoured 4×4 vehicles, the ones on top of the list among the most reliable models, the NIMR Automotive’s AJBAN SOV Special Operations Vehicle (SOV) has been hailed as one of the long range reconnaissance specialist in the AJBAN fleet of vehicles. The model was aimed at upgrading the capabilities of operations forces that boosted their fighting capabilities.
The AJBAN 4×4 is 7,500 kg in weight and it is capable of carrying a maximum payload of 2,500 kg. It measures 2.5m in length, 2.09m wide with a height of 1.8m. It’s a powerful vehicle with Cummins ISBe 300 6.7, a six cylinder diesel engine and has an Allison 3000SP six speed manual or automatic transmission. AJBAN 4×4 has a maximum power of 296 horse power at 2,100rpm with a maximum torque of 1,100Nm at 1,200rpm. Additionally, it can reach up to 110km/h with a fuel tank capacity of 180l. This makes it easily capable of taking on long-range missions.
Furthermore, with a chassis based on NIMR’s 4×4 chassis, it is capable of seating up to four troops and can be fitted with extra seats. It also boasts of its 360 degrees situational awareness and is based on an open architecture that facilitates the easy integration of communication systems, inctercom, antenna base, wireless devices, night and day vision systems, observation and battle management systems and monitors.
Lastly, it comes with a military-grade power management system that allows the vehicle to power up several types of equipment. It also allows for optional add-ons also include a range of fire suppression system, fire extinguisher and as well as external search lights.
In terms of mobility, the AJBAN has hydraulic power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Having a nimble vehicle with double wishbone independent suspension fitted with hydraulic dampers and coil springs is no doubt a beast. This gives the driver the ability to mobilize and complete missions regardless of the terrain.
