For
the VTMM-MPV Ambulance, Iveco is responsible for the final
protection level and for the integration of all specific
equipment according to the requirements of the Italian
Army.
The MPV-VTMM family of vehicles is based on military off-the
shelf (COTS) high mobility chassis derived from the Trakker
range, which not only provide a superior mobility but
also allow the customer to exploit the Iveco worldwide
logistic system.
The MPV-VTMM
platform, due to this flexibility, can be declined in
several other versions, while maintaining the level of
protection of basic configuration. Some of the possibilities
already under study and development are:
- Advanced Combat Recce Team (ACRT);
- Explosive Ordnance Devices Disposal (EODD)
- Electronic Warfare (EW-RCIED);
- Command Post (CP);
- Communications;
- Logistic
