Thai company Panus Assembly has unveiled a 4x4 military vehicle that it hopes to supply to the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
The HMV-420 high mobility vehicle (HMV) is based on the company’s HMV-150 platform, which was unveiled in 2017 and, in turn, is based on a re-engineered and upgraded Cadillac Gage V-150 Commando 4x4 light armoured vehicle.
In disclosing details about the HMV-420 in mid-September 2018, the company said it has been built to provide end-users with enhanced protection and a more spacious interior. The vehicle presumably derives its name from its Cummins 420hp engine, which has been integrated with an Allison 4500 SP automatic transmission.
