Wheeled and Tracked Platforms on Display
As well as its extensive range of armoured vehicles, Otokar will inform visitors to its booth at Expodefensa in Bogotá this week about its flexible business model, which incorporates transfer of technology and local manufacturing.
“Currently, Otokar vehicles are actively used in several different missions in various regions, including Latin America. We strongly believe that the performance of our vehicles serving worldwide are the most important reference for our potential customers. Our combat-proven know-how in land systems and related R&D, engineering and testing capabilities as well as our wide product range puts us at the forefront of the global defense industry […] The Expodefensa exhibition is a good opportunity for us to get together with our potential clients. We have been able to gain significant experience about responding to the needs and expectations of this region through the military vehicles currently serving here. In addition to promoting our wide product range during the exhibition, we will also look for opportunities to establish industrial cooperation to localize the support of Otokar vehicles in the region. We are also willing to evaluate transfer of technology and local manufacturing projects where Otokar has a well-established and proven track record,” explained General Manager, Serdar Görgüç.
Otokar designs and manufactures a wide range of tactical armoured vehicles, including the 4×4 COBRA, COBRA II, COBRA II-MRAP, AKREP II, URAL, KAYA II, ISV, ARMA 6×6 and ARMA 8×8. The company’s products are recognised for their survivability, superior mobility and modularity: its combat-proven wheeled vehicles serve in challenging terrain and extreme weather conditions, and have demonstrated their utility in various operations.
Otokar’s TULPAR tracked armoured vehicle family is designed as a multi-purpose platform, with its significant ballistic and mine protection and high payload capacity aimed at meeting the requirements of modern armed forces for all types of battlefield applications. TULPAR’s high power-to-weight ratio, all-terrain high-performance suspension and automatic track tensioning system offer superior mobility in diverse terrain and climatic conditions. The TULPAR Medium Tank variant integrates a 105mm weapon system and provides a state-of-the-art solution with high firepower.
