| Design and protection |
|
The design of the Chinese Wolf 4x4 is standard with the powerpack at the front, the crew (driver and commander) in the middle, and the infantrymen at the rear with four individual seats. There is one more seat to the middle rear of commander and driver for the soldier who operates the roof-mounted machine gun. To the front and side of the commander and driver are bulletproof windows. In either side of the hull is a forward-opening door. A large door is provided in the rear of the hull which opens to the right and is provided with a small bulletproof window. Over the top of the troop compartment are two roof hatches that open outwards. In either side of the rear troop compartment are two bulletproof vision blocks with a firing port on side, which allow some of the soldiers to fire with their individual weapons from inside the vehicle. The Wolf 4x4 provides a ballistic protection for the crew against 7.62mm armor piercing bullet at the front, and 7.62mm standard bullet for side and rear of the hull.
