Renault
Trucks Defense has developed for 5 years a completely new range of 4x4
tactical and light armoured vehicles from 7,7 to 11 tonnes : the Sherpa
Light. The distinctive features of the Sherpa Light are clearly excellent
all-terrain mobility and a huge payload. The Sherpa Light is also designed
to be fitted with add-on armor (ballistic, mine and IED kits) without
losing mobility and payload contrary to older vehicles. The Sherpa Light family now consists in 6 different versions answering all the needs of military and internal security forces. They share the same driveline to ease maintenance and decrease lifecycle costs but are available with different wheelbases, cabs, protection levels, weapon systems and equipments depending on customers' specific needs. The SHERPA LIGHT “Scout”, available in unarmoured or armoured variants, is ideally suited for tactical missions such as scouting, patrol, convoy escort and command and liaison. It is able to transport up to 4 or 5 soldiers and a roof mounted weapon system. |
