Iveco - Stand number - OR23 - OR24

Iveco is showing a number of products including: 2x Tracker 6x6 trucks, 1x Tracker 8x8 trucks, 1x Astra 6x6, 1x Ducato 4x4 Van and 1x Iveco Massif Santana truck. The company will also be exhibiting an armoured cab system. The Iveco BAE Panther vehicles will be exhibited on the BAE Stand.

Panther, the British Army’s command and liaison vehicle (CLV), assembled and integrated by BAE Systems at its facility in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East Based on a chassis designed by Iveco in Italy, Panther CLV is designed for strategic and tactical mobility with a high level of protection against anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. It also provides operators with a lower vehicle profile while still giving a high level of crew protection.

The most recent addition to the vehicle range is the Medium Multirole Vehicle (MMV). This highly mobile off-road 4x4 truck combines a payload capability of up to six tonnes with the capability to provide ballistic protection for the complete cab using the same dual role technology principles as LMV.

Available with three engine power ratings, three wheelbase lengths and with manual or automatic transmissions the versatile MMV can be tailored to meet a wide variety of military uses.

Metalurgica de Santa Ana (later to become Santana Motor SA), was the Spanish engineering company that signed a deal with Rover Company to build Land Rovers under licence. The first were built in 1958 from CKD kits, but local content was gradually increased until the Santanas were 100 per cent locally manufactured. Iveco has signed a marketing deal with Santana whereby Santana vehicles will be badged ‘Iveco’ and supplied with Iveco engines ands gearboxes. Iveco has expressed an interest in supplying vehicles to a number of military customers including the U.K. MoD. More details will be available at DVD.

International - Stand No. OR08-OR09, Green Fleet Area

International is showing its new MXT-MVA (Military Vehicle - Armored) at the OFF ROAD AREA next to MAN and will  be bringing three vehicles, 2 MXT’s (one ARMORED, one SOFT SKIN), and our MINE PROTECTD VEHICLE.

The MXT vehicle was first shown for the first time at the U.S. Army’s Aberdeen Proving Grounds and has since been down-selected as a contender for the JLTV Program to replace the HMMV against Lockheed’s HMT vehicle. The MXT-MVA is an all-terrain, armored wheeled vehicle platform designed to provide a new level of ballistics and blast protection on the battlefield and against the new threat of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). It is a derivative of the MXT 4x4 Pickup which makes an ideal base as it is so big that the crew cab can seat five sumo wrestlers with ease (providing one of them can drive) and the tray can carry a jet ski or a motorcycle with the tailgate up. Not surprisingly, the MXT-MVA can handle the weight of the armor with ease, especially over long distances, rugged terrain and when manoeuvrability is critical. Powered by a 300-horsepower International V8 diesel engine with 530 lb.-ft. of torque, additional armor does not adversely affect the vehicle's superior payload ability, towing capacity or durability. The cab can be configured to fit as many as six crew members in full gear, while the body of the MXT-MVA is versatile enough to accommodate an array of weapons, navigation and communications systems and applications such as convoy protection, field shelter, ambulance and communications units, which are seamlessly integrated with the company's proprietary multiplexed electrical system. International Military and Government LLC (IMG) is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Truck and Engine Corporation, and has collaborated extensively with established armor providers and military development engineers within the US Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Centers (TARDEC) National Automotive Center to develop the right armor solutions for the full spectrum of military operations.

International has gone from Defense Segment sales of six vehicles in 2004 to 17000 in 2006 and is supplying vehicles to Afghanistan and Iraq.
