opswarfare believes that there is a very big market for army utility vehicles at the moment. A few choices remain in the mix, with Iveco's LMV, AM General's HMMWV, Landrover's Defender, and MOWAG's Eagle IV. opswarfare envisages a future vehicle, with a hybrid powerplant, a remote controlled weapons mount, run-flat tyres, and a 2 row, 3-abrest seating arrangement. More details to follow.
Below are the current products on the market

ReplyDeletelooks like the 3-abreast seating, copied from the fiat multipla, has being used in a military vehicle. The Spider LSV from ST Kinetics utilises this seating arrangement.
