Description

The International M1224 MaxxPro MPV (Mine Protected Vehicle)/MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) is an armored fighting vehicle designed by the American company Navistar International's subsidiary International Military and Government LLC along with the Israeli Plasan Sasa, who designed and manufactures the vehicle's armor. The MaxxPro is based on the Navistar International Model 7000 truck chassis.

A total of 9,000 vehicles MaxxPro in many variants were delivered to the U.S. Army. In December 2007, the U.S. Marine Corps has ordered 1,500 MaxxPro to Navistar.

Technical Data

Armament
The M1224 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, on top of the hull.
Design and protection
The M1224 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 MRAPs 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 a V-shaped design has enabled MaxxPro to survive a 7kg land mine blast without any injuries.
Mobility
The International M1224 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.
Combat Equipment
The M1224 Maxxpro MRAO is fitted with a winch 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 (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) protection system.
