The Gepard ASV was especially designed to perform different types of security missions and specific tasks like peacekeeping operations or convoy escort, EOD, Ambulance, Urban or Border patrolling.

There is two large bulletproof windows at the front and the commander and driver both have a forward-opening side door. One more additionnal door are available on each side of the hull that open to the rear.

The Gepard-ASV is powered by a 6.7L v8 Ford engine that ensures power and resilience through any terrain. The Gepard-ASV internal layout is designed to accommodate an 8-member crew including driver and commander but best of all is that seating configuration can be adjusted as per client requirement. The Gepard-ASV can run at a maximum road speed of 120 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 800 km.

The Gepard ASV weighs 7.6 tons and can carry a payload of up to 1.5 tons. The Gepard offers protection against all small arms, hand grenades and fragmentation with its standard CEN B6 (firing of small arms 7.62x51mm caliber) protection level.
