The MUV 4×4 is purpose-built for military applications and successor to IDV’s renowned M40E15-WM. Compliant with military and NATO standards, it benefits from integrating highly industrialised components.

The MUV 4×4 offers a gross vehicle weight of up to 7 tons and a maximum payload capacity of 4 tons. Its designed engine enables operation in temperatures ranging from -32°C to +49°C, and it is compatible with NATO fuels.

The vehicle’s permanent 4×4 drive, featuring central/front/rear lockable differentials and a power take-off equipped transfer case, enhances off-road mobility and reliability. Its independent front suspension system with a torsion bar ensures balanced handling and performance in challenging terrains.

By prioritising component commonality and modular design, IDV reduces the logistical footprint while improving flexibility. This approach allows for integrating modular superstructures, enabling the MUV 4×4 to adapt to operational scenarios, thereby maximising its suitability for different mission requirements.
