At IDEX, Nimr Automotive introduced the proprietary 4×4 multi-purpose vehicle Ajban 447A, an evolution of the launched Ajban 440A. Significant change is the reconfiguration of the powertrain including suspension with weight savings, which allowed for a flat interior floor in favor of increasing the interior volume. It now offers space for five fully equipped soldiers - facing forward - as well as a driver and commander. Nimr offers two variants for the drive: diesel engine with 220 kW or with 265 kW. This means the vehicle can reach a top speed of 120 km/h.
The ten tonne class vehicle now offers a four tonne payload capacity, some of which has been used to improve protection. Users can further increase the level of protection for the crew with add-on protection.
The prototype at the exhibition, which will go into the field for testing in the summer, was equipped with an M134D Dillon Gatling machine gun with 7.62 mm caliber in a Platt weapons station. It is possible to equip other weapons according to the needs of the users.
Other features of the vehicle include interior climate control, roof-mounted mine protection seats, central tire pressure control, a self-sealing tank, a battery management system and a self-recovery thread.
