Tata Motors and DRB-HICOM Defence Technologies (DEFTECH) have signed an agreement to develop, promote and market Tata Motors’ high mobility 4x4 trucks for the armed forces of Malaysia.
DEFTECH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRB-HICOM Berhad, will be initially working on two models in the 2.5 tonnes to 5.0 tonnes payload range — the LPTA 715 and LPTA 1623 — an official statement said.
These vehicles can be configured as troop carriers, command post, ambulance or for reconnaissance missions and as an armoured carrier.
Tata Motors has been associated with the security forces since 1958 and has supplied over one lakh vehicles to the Indian military and paramilitary forces.
The company exports specialised defence vehicles to the SAARC, ASEAN and African regions. Agencies using such vehicles include the UN, GSA, KBR, Oxfam, RONCO, RA International & Riders.
