RMMV’s strategic intent with the TGS-Mil Protected is clear: to capture a burgeoning segment of the international market demanding protected logistical mobility coupled with long-term cost efficiency. This development underscores RMMV’s unwavering commitment to continuously evolve its militarized truck portfolio, responding directly to evolving mission requirements and dynamic geopolitical landscapes.

Under the hood, the TGS-Mil Protected is powered by a formidable MAN D2676 six-cylinder diesel engine. This powerhouse delivers up to 382 kW (520 hp) and an impressive 2,650 Nm of torque. Adhering to Euro II, V, and VIe-standards, the engine is also fully compatible with NATO fuel F34. Critically, its drive and chassis systems leverage proven components from the civilian sector, a design choice that simplifies maintenance and ensures global serviceability. The all-wheel drive system guarantees exceptional off-road capabilities, a vital attribute for military operations in challenging terrains.
