PARS SCOUT 6x6 differs from other members of the PARS product family with its two-seat cabin at the front of the vehicle, featuring transparent armour (ballistic glass) and a 230° horizontal viewing angle.

This cabin ensures high driving safety and situational awareness for the personnel on-board.

With a power-to-weight ratio of 22 HP/ton, the PARS SCOUT 6x6 can reach a speed of 100 km/h; move through 60 percent gradients and on 30 percent side slopes, and cross 60 cm high vertical obstacles and 120 cm wide trenches. The vehicle has 6x6 and 6x4 driving characteristics, and all of its axles can be locked when necessary. When used in amphibious mode, the PARS SCOUT 6x6 can reach speeds of up to 8 km/s.

The hull shape, underbelly structure, base plates and specially developed mine-resistant seats are all designed to protect personnel against high-level mine threats. The PARS 6x6 SCOUT offers the protection level of mine-resistant vehicles produced for personnel transport, while also possessing the capabilities expected of a modern armoured combat vehicle.

K. Nail Kurt, General Manager and CEO of FNSS, also highlights that PARS SCOUT 6x6 is a special vehicle: “When you have a mature and modular tool at hand, it becomes easier to design different variants for specific needs. The PARS family gives us ample opportunity to do so. The PARS SCOUT 6x6 is actually quite a special vehicle, since it harbours at the same time all the superior qualities of PARS product family. We are confident that our vehicle will meet the special needs of our current and potential customers in the best way possible."
