The VLRA Commando is full open-top vehicle for the crew cab and the troop compartment at the rear. With a maximum payload of 4,500 kg, the VLRA TDN-TDE Commando can carry a large quantity of fuel, ammunition, food and water, allowing Special Forces units to travel great distances, and perform their missions in complete autonomy during several days.
