The M-20 MRAP vehicle is based on the 6x6 chassis of the new Serbian 8-ton military truck FAP 2228 LA (EURO 3), which, in turn, is based on Mercedes-Benz components. The joint development of the M-20 armored vehicle was carried out by Zastava Tervo, the FAP (Surf) plant and the Belgrade Military Technical Institute.

Apparently, like the FAP 2228 truck, the M-20 is fitted with a DaimlerChrysler OM 906 6-cylinder diesel engine (279 hp at 2,200 RPM) coupled to a ZF 9S 109 automatic transmission. The M-20 can carry up to 12 people, including three crew members. The presented sample is fitted with an armored turret armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun.
