Chaiseri is most known for its rubber tracks and vehicle upgrades. But in 2009 the company has revealed details of its own vehicle design, the First Win 4x4 (FV). Designed with the insurgency and terrorist activity in Southern Thailand in mind, the new vehicle has been tailored to the demands of operating in areas where trees are cultivated, leaving no room for a Humvee to penetrate.
So the company’s FW 4x4 has been sized to operate in comparatively confined areas, while offering high mobility and agility even when operating on demanding terrain such as mud, sand or rocky surfaces. For ease of operation, the First Win has permanent 4x4 wheel drive, power steering and a pneumatic system that permits rapid braking even when the vehicle is heavily loaded.
First Win as Chaiseri 4x4 tactical vehicle was first introduced to the public on Defense & Security 2009 event. Next year this new 8-tonne vehicle have been demonstrated at IDEX-2011 in the UAE.
The First Win 4x4 360 degrees protection system is based on a welded ballistic hull with V-Shapped floor to dissipate mine blasts. Extensive use of composite material in the V Shapped hull reduces the vehicle weight. Ballistic and blast protection performance depends on customer requirement from STANAG 4569 Lv 1 up to Lv 3.
The FW 4x4 will be offered as an APC, a command and reconnaissance vehicle, or an ambulance.
