Mercedes-Benz FGA Components-KIT a complete solution for refurbishment of military vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz at IDEX 2013 presents the answer for the late-breaking issue “refurbishment of existing military fleets” with its FGA Component-Kit solution. The improved performance standards required for vehicles and new challenges to be faced during operations are good reasons for the refurbishment of vehicles already in use. The most important reason is however the preservation of existing and approved vehicle fleets which fulfills a wide range of roles since many years.

Mercedes-Benz is now providing an integral system solution for the refurbishment of entire vehicles with a "Component Kit – complete solution" which is absolutely in tune with the requirements of modern forces in the 21st century as well as coming up to the latest military and technical vehicle standards.

For over 50 years, Mercedes-Benz Special Chassis have received global acclaim. Military vehicles required for sensitive global operations such as peacekeeping missions have to come up to very specific and demanding standards.

Mercedes-Benz chassis and component kits provide the ideal base structures for special operation vehicles in the civilian sector, for instance for police operations or border patrols, as well as for armoured superstructures for troop carriers.

Using the "Component Kit" system solution to meet special military requirements is however not just of interest for new projects, but for upgrading fleets of vehicles already in use. The improved performance standards required for vehicles and new challenges to be faced during operations are good reasons for modernising vehicles already used. The most important reason is however to lengthen the vehicle's life cycle. Because a long life span saves resources and lowers life-cycle costs.

One thing is true for all Mercedes-Benz Component Kits: They include "mass-produced components adapted to military requirements". With no limits set to diversity: whether two, three or four axles with varying wheelbases, tonnage from 12.5 tonnes right up to 45 tonnes, 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines, manual or automatic transmission, the most modern electronic architecture and instruments. When selecting a Component Kit, the manufacturer of armoured monocoque vehicles has recourse to time-tried safeguarded components and interfaces (mechanical, electric, hydraulic, pneumatic) which also come up to international STANAG standards.

The establishment of the new business unit "Special Chassis" is Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks' answer to altered market needs. Based on the time-tried Mercedes-Benz Truck modular assembly system, Mercedes-Benz Special Chassis is now providing an integral system solution for the entire vehicle with a "Component Kit" which is absolutely in tune with the requirements of modern vehicle manufacturers in the 21st century as well as coming up to the latest military and technical vehicle standards.
