AMPV - Armoured Multi-Purpose Vehicle
The next generation of protected vehicles
Asymmetric threats and patrols in insecure areas demand not only the highest level of protection but also great agility and maneuverability. From the long-standing collaboration with the Bundeswehr, KMW has developed a command vehicle together with Rheinmetall, which resembles a modern SUV in terms of handling and versatility whilst readily fulfilling the requirements of modern army operations. The AMPV* sets international standards in terms of safety and security and thus belongs to an innovative, powerful and future-oriented generation of armored vehicles.
A number of characteristics make up the special appeal of this highly flexible vehicle: a small turning circle of 15m in connection with a 200kW (272 hp) engine guarantee a high mobility in confined urban areas. The self-supporting safety cell made from armor steel and composite armor increases the safety of the crew to a maximum. Furthermore, it is easily possible to operate the vehicle in heavy terrain. This is ensured by a high-performance chassis with independent suspension – and proven by the ability to climb gradients of more than 70%.
The version Type 2a of the AMPV has an empty weight of just 7,3 tonnes and an intended payload of up to 2,6 t. For self-defense the vehicle can be fitted with a weapon station on the roof which is either equipped with a machine gun up to a caliber of 12,7mm or a grenade launcher of 40mm caliber.
