Krauss-Maffei Wegmann / Iveco
|
TERRIER is jointly produced by the German Krauss-Maffai Wegman company and Iveco,
from Italy, which supplies the chassis and engine. The vehicle has a large open
space cabin, fitted with two side doors and a large read door for rapid
dismount. Terrier is capable of comfortably accommodating 6-8 fully equipped
troops. The Terrier can be used as a troop carrier, command and tactical
logistic vehicle, for patrol, escort, reconnaissance and logistical support
missions. The vehicle is constructed with a bullet proof (7.62x51 cal) and
fragment proof protected cage, and is fitted with a floor which defeats AP mines
(including the DM31 bouncing mine). Critical components such as the fuel tank
and batteries are well protected. The vehicle can be equipped with a roof
mounted firing hatch, where a machine gun can be mounted for self-defense. Three
firing ports are also installed on each side, with additional ports at the front
and rear. Fire extinguishing system is also provided for the engine and tires
.
