The new powerpack 350S fits into the existing chassis with only minor modifications. This makes this powerpack an attractive option for new-production as well as for upgrade programs.

The powerpack comprises:

• the fully automatic powershift transmission ESM350, well proven on the MBT PT-91M, ARV WZT-4, AEV MID-M and AVLB Leguan of the Malaysian Army

• a high performance cooling system designed for hot climatic conditions

• the modern diesel engine DI16 from Scania (Sweden) with a maximum power of 1200hp

The complete powerpack can be exchanged in less than one hour in field conditions, improving the fleet availability and reducing the operating costs.
