In February 2017, during IDEX, the International defense exhibition that was held in United Arab Emirates, Company NIMR Automotive from UAE and VOP from Czech Republic have signed a strategic collaboration agreement for the marketing, distribution, production and after-sale support of the complete range of NIMR armoured vehicles to the Visegrád 4 countries comprising Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.

NIMR, a subsidiary of Emirates Defense Industries Company (EDIC), the UAE's integrated defense manufacturing and services platform, is already a leading manufacturer of armoured vehicles in the Middle East and North Africa, with combat-proven vehicles that can perform in the harshest operational environments. These will now be winterised with VOP to maximise performance in Europe's cold weather environments.

The NIMR AJBAN 440A, a highly mobile 4x4 protected vehicle incorporating the latest technologies in ballistic and blast protection, will be presented to representatives of the Czech Ministry of Defense and the Czech Armed Forces at the end of February during an industry day event being held in Vyškov.

The Ajban 440A is designed for the harshest environments, the vehicle offers exceptional off-road capability as well as unparalleled reliability and performance.

Due to the modular nature of the vehicle, it can be configured to suit a variety of operational roles and catering for various mission systems. This allows users to have a single fleet for a multitude of requirements whilst ensuring common logistic support and thereby lower the lifecycle cost.

The Ajban 440A can carry a total of 4 military personnel including driver and commander. It has a gross weight of 10,750 kg with a payload of 1,200 kg. The vehicle can run at a maximum road speed of 110 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 700 km.
