The creation of the FAT TRUCK® DEFENSE division is driven by two main objectives: enhancing mobility capabilities in Arctic conditions with models specifically configured for cargo logistics, personnel transport, and search and rescue operations; and strengthening the exclusive partnership with leading defense supplier Rheinmetall Canada. This collaboration integrates Rheinmetall's cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology into the Mission Master family of uncrewed ground systems (UGSs) based on the FAT TRUCK® platform.
Maxim O'Shaughnessy, President of Zeal Motor, commented that the FAT TRUCK® was tested in the Arctic, where it performed exceptionally at temperatures as low as -46°C. Capable of traveling at 40 km/h on Arctic land and 5 km/h on water, as well as climbing steep icy hills and vertical walls, the FAT TRUCK® meets rigorous safety standards and adds remarkable capabilities to operational readiness.
Zeal Motor Defense's ambition is to support the defense market with innovative mobility solutions. By creating a new factory to meet the growing demand, it is committed to providing responsive support for its products and users in the field. The creation of a dedicated defense division aligns with the strategic plan to further develop innovative off-road vehicle solutions and expand production capacity.
Zeal Motor continues to invest in its research and development center and has inaugurated a new manufacturing plant to ensure it can meet the fast-growing demand for its pioneering off-road products.
