At LAAD 2013, the International Defence Exhibition of Brazil, the American Company MDT Armor unveils its new all-terrain combat vehicle, the AVNER. The Textron/MDT Avner combat vehicle is a cost-effective, survivable, light protected all-terrain vehicle that seats three to eleven crewmembers. Incorporating a proprietary armored capsule mounted on a modified commercial Dodge® RAM® pickup truck, the Avner offers significant advantages in power, room, protection and lifecycle cost. | |||

The AVNER is based on the Dodge RAM 5500 heavy duty platform which is one of the best 4X4 commercial platforms in its category. A powerful 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo water cooled diesel engine boosting 400 HP and 610 lb-ft torque is coupled with an AISIN® six-speed automatic transmission and transfer case. This powertrain, with its unique factory-installed exhaust brake, easily handles the 8.8 ton, 19,500-lb GVW Avner, even at 60% slopes. |
