Iveco Defence Vehicles has
built on the remarkable commercial and operational success of its Light
Multirole Vehicle (LMV) to develop a version dedicated to Special Forces
operations. Currently deployed in Afghanistan by seven different nations,
the LMV is well regarded by its users, and its high levels of protection
and mobility have already saved numerous lives. |

After presenting a first prototype
at IDET 2009 and DVD 2009, Iveco will now display the latest version of
its LMV SF at MSPO 2011. The new model features the same well-proven drive train and running gear of the standard version, although its armoured cab has been stripped down to a minimum, providing optimum situational awareness and enabling rapid dismount. The vehicle benefits from the proven LMV chassis which ensures logistic commonality for those armies which already deploy the standard LMV. The 140 kW engine provides a power-to-weight ratio of about 20 kW/t and is coupled to a six speed automatic gearbox with hydro-dynamic coupling converter and transfer-box. The low profile of the rear of the vehicle allows unrestricted visibility and allows the use of weapons -over a 360 degree arc. |
