The MRZR is one of the most popular 4x4 all-terrain vehicle. It is in service in the U.S. armed forces and more than 20 allied countries to meet mission demands and threats while forward deployed.
In 2015, U.S. Special Operations Command bought 2,000 of the vehicles, including 1,700 of the company's four-seat MRZR-4s, and 300 of its two-seat MRZR-2s. The turbo-charged diesel engine in the new MRZR-D has been engineered to meet the performance and physical specs of the original MRZR vehicles. While many key features – like the dimensions, payload, towing, ground clearance, accessories, handling and other features – remain the same, Polaris incorporated feedback from the field in the new product, including updated occupant seating space, ergonomics and sightlines. The new MRZR-D motorized with a turbo diesel engine, allowing it to use local fuels. In addition to diesel, the Polaris MRZR can run on JP-8 jet fuel. The use of a diesel engine increases the range of the vehicle by up to 30 percent on roads. Many foreign customers prefer to use Diesel engine for military vehicles. “The new turbo diesel powertrain is significant in reducing the logistics burden for select U.S. services and many foreign militaries that have strict requirements for diesel fuel,” said Jed Leonard, senior manager, Polaris Defense. “And as importantly for our military customers, we’ve engineered this diesel powertrain to meet the same mission requirements and extreme off-road performance that Polaris and the MRZR are trusted for in peacetime, security operations, and conventional military missions.” |
