The Temsah-6 is built on a Navistar chassis and is powered by a 369 hp engine coupled with an automatic transmission. Its road performance at full load allows for a maximum speed of 85 km/h and a maximum cruising range of 500 km. The vehicle is fitted with 395/85/R20 tires with run-flat inserts and a central tire inflation system.

The steel chassis of the Temsah-6 features large windows, including a two-part windshield at the front and full-length windows on the sides of the rear compartment, equipped with firing ports. This configuration allows occupants to use their weapons from inside the vehicle, in line with Egyptian military doctrine. In its troop transport variant showcased at EDEX 2023, the Temsah-6 can accommodate two crew members in the front cabin and seven soldiers in the rear compartment, accessible through the front and rear doors.

The initial ballistic protection level of the Temsah-6 is BR6, with the possibility of upgrading to BR7. Mine protection conforms to level 3 a/b of STANAG 4569 standard. Anti-blast seats are also provided for all occupants.

The Temsah-6 measures 6.4 meters in length (6.7 meters with the rear-mounted spare tire), 2.6 meters in width, and 2.98 meters in height, with a ground clearance of 380 mm. The height increases with the addition of a remotely controlled weapon station, with a model from Escribano visible on the exhibited prototype. The vehicle is also equipped with three external cameras for daytime situational awareness and a night vision camera for the driver, who has a 9-inch screen.

According to company representatives, the Temsah-6 has completed all trials by the Egyptian Army and has been certified by Navistar. The vehicle is now ready for production and is awaiting an imminent contract from the Egyptian Ministry of Defence.
