Armored multipurpose and transport vehicle GTP 4×4 delivered in Finland

The Finnish Armed Forces have received all ordered GTP 4×4 armored vehicles. The vehicles were ordered from the manufacturer Sisu Auto in June 2020.

The vehicles were delivered as five-seat armored multi-purpose vehicles and ten-seat armored personnel carriers. Mission modules are mounted on the same vehicle chassis for both versions, with which the vehicles can be adapted to a large number of different roles. By using truck components from large series, the logistical effort - and thus the life cycle costs - remains low.

Die 14 Tonnen schweren Fahrzeuge (Gefechtsgewicht) können fünf Tonnen Nutzlast tragen und werden von einem 230 kW Mercedes-Benz-Dieselmotor angetrieben. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit erreicht 100 km/h, die Reichweite bis 700 km. Ohne Vorbereitung können Gewässer bis 85 cm Tiefe durchwatet werden. Der Schutz gegen Minen, Ansprengungen und Beschuss ist nach STANAG 4569 zertifiziert. Optional kann Schutz gegen Panzerabwehrhandwaffen und ABC-Kampfmittel integriert werden.
