| The LTV was originally developed to meet RoK MOD requirements and funding. It is also known as the KM1 and can also be armoured with a number of different variants and fitted with various weapon systems. It has a crew of 1+3 and comes in standard or long wheel base, with the longer version able to carry 8 men. The armoured version has smaller side windows and a two-piece windscreen, able to protect against small arms and fragments. The engine is a high output eco-friendly S2, with 8-speed automatic transmission and an output of 225hp, which is considered one of the highest against it’s nearest overseas competitors. Vehicle protection comes in the form of a detachable modular kit to protect against small arms, fragments and mines. The LTV comes with anti-lock brakes, run flat tyres with pressure regulated from inside, and high ground clearance. |
