Description

Technical Data

Armament

The MaxxPro 4x4 MRAP is fitted with a one man turret, equipped with a 7,62 mm or 12,7 mm machine gun. The turret is mounted to the right side, top of the hull.

Protection

The MaxxPro 4x4 MRAP is based on the Navistar International Model 7000 truck chassis. The vehicle is classified as a Category 1 (MRUV) Mine Resistant Utility Vehicle MRAP. Category 1 MRAP's are the smallest vehicles (by weight and size) of the 3 classes of MRAP vehicles. The MaxxPro utilizes a crew capsule with a V-shaped hull, mounted on an International WorkStar 7000 chassis. The V-hull deflects the blast of a land mine or improvised explosive device (IED) away from the vehicle to protect its occupants. Because the chassis is mounted outside the armored crew capsule, there are concerns that it will likely be destroyed in the event of an ambush, leaving the soldiers inside stranded. The incorporation of V-shaped design design has enabled MaxxPro to survive a 7kg land mine blast without any injuries.

Mobility

The International Maxxpro 4x4 MRAP is powered by the MaxxForce D family engine model D8.7L16, Turbo inter-cooled, direct electronic injection and four stroke. MaxxForcesix-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel D8.7L16 is coupled to a fully automatic power shift gearbox Allison 3000 with a total of five speeds forward and one in reverse.

Accessories

A winch is mounted to the front of the vehicle. The International MaxxPro can ford to a maximum depth of 0,91 m without preparation. The vehicle is also equipped with an NBC protection system.
