Navistar Defense LLC [NAV] launched the Internationalr MaxxPror Tractor, a new variant in its family of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.
The vehicle, which offers MRAP survivability by incorporating an A kit / B kit cab, is on display this week at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition, at the company booth 3931 in Hall C.
The MaxxPro Tractor MRAP allows two- to three-man crews to carry out support missions with the same ballistics, mine and Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) protection used on all MaxxPro MRAP vehicles. The vehicle is powered by a MaxxForcer D 13L engine.
“All of the vehicle variants in the growing MaxxPro family are configured from one proven and reliable platform,” said Archie Massicotte, president, Navistar Defense. “The Navistar design maximizes the supportability and maintainability of these vehicles with a high degree of commonality of parts among all MaxxPro variants.”
Navistar also offers two other MRAP utility variants, the MaxxPro Cargo and the MaxxPro Recovery Vehicle. All three utility vehicles are built on the company’s flexible Internationalr WorkStarr and utilize MaxxForcer D engines.
To date, Navistar has been contracted to produce more than 7,500 MaxxPro units as well as retrofit 1,222 units in theater with its DXM(tm) independent suspension solution.
MaxxPro vehicles are currently in operation with U.S. forces as well as with six coalition forces.
