At DefExpo 2010 the Indian Company Ashok Leyland presented his wheeled mine protected vehicle, MPV. The entry of the Company Ashok Leyland with that type of armoured vehicle is an answer to an ever-increasing demand from the Armed Forces for well-engineered, high-mobility, high protection, tactical vehicles that can be used in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations. The design of the vehicle lends itself for easy adaptation to a number of applications such as Troop Carriers, Armoured Personnel Carriers, Command Vehicles, Border Patrols, Riot Control, Internal Security and Counter Terrorism. Ashok Leyland has over 55,000 special purpose vehicles in service with the Defence forces that include the Stallion 4x4, Light Recovery Vehicles, Water Bowzers, Truck Fire Fighters and Field Artillery Tractors.
