Eurosatory 2022: GDELS General Dynamics European Land Systems introduces DURO-e first all-electric all-terrain 4x4 vehicle.

The DURO is a highly mobile all-terrain military tactical vehicle and for years the “workhorse” of the Swiss Army. The name DURO stands for DUrable and RObust. With its uniquely designed modular construction, the DURO can be modified in many configurations to accommodate a wide range of applications in a single vehicle from troop transporter, command and control, logistics to ambulance vehicle.
