BLASTING SPECIFICATION

Protection class VPAM ERV2010 / STANAG 4569

Our armored vehicles are certified, among others, in compliance with VPAM ERV2010 and STANAG 4569. The testing procedures include the blasting of differ- ent types of hand grenades (DM51, HG85) on the vehicle roof and under the vehi- cle. In compliance with STANAG 4569 AEP-55 we also test protection against land mines of type AP DM31 and similar, and against 6-kg land mines. On request, we simulate the effects of a TNT or PETN car bomb blasting on the lateral sides of a vehicle. All tests are performed by state-approved proof houses (Beschussamt) or IABG, a German analysis and testing company.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION AND BRAKES

The reinforced chassis, suspension components and springs have been developed specifically for the MBS They are optimally designed to suit the axle loads of this armoured vehicle. Even the braking system has been replaced with high-performance alternatives.

Our engineers have worked closely with the experts at a well-known German chassis manufacturer from the racing world to ensure safe and reliable driving dynamics at all times.

All five wheels (including the spare) feature an emergency running system from EUROPLAST-NYCAST GmbH. This run-flat feature means you can still drive 50 kilometres at a maximum speed of 50 km/h in the event of a puncture.
