Flexibility:
Conventional in-service patrol vehicles invariably sacrifice their tactical mobility, and thus their inherent manoeuvre capability, in order to achieve their higher protection parameters. This makes them vulnerable to ambush at critical points along their route. RANGER does not make such a compromise.

Against UK Defence Standard 26-06 Issue 4, it easily achieves ‘Improved Medium Mobility Load Carrier’ (IMMLC) status. Indeed, in all but 3 of the requirements, it exceeds the IMMLC parameters and sits in the ‘High’ mobility definition. With a top speed of 107 kph and an unrefueled range of up to 1000km, its operational mobility is also outstanding.

In order to achieve this performance, the vehicle is powered by a 540 horse power, turbo charged, Euro 5 compliant diesel engine for optimum speed and performance.

RANGER will accelerate from zero to 50 kph in a meer 7 seconds. This is very quick for a 19t platform.

Modularity:
Ranger is a ‘chassis-less’ vehicle. The monocoque provides the backbone of the vehicle and all automotive, drive train and related systems are bolted to the outside of the capsule. Thus, if the front end of the vehicle sustains mine strike damage, it can be quickly removed and a new module fitted, thus putting the vehicle back into service in the fastest possible time.
