KMW showcases DINGO 2 HD armored vehicle at Eurosatory 2016

The Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) showcases DINGO 2 HD the next generation of highly protected, high capacity and very mobile vehicles on the basis of the DINGO 2  at Eurosatory 2016.

The DINGO 2 HD will also be on exhibit in a large-capacity variant at the KMW booth. This variant has capacity for up to ten crew members. Rapid mounting and dismounting in the rear section of the high-protection large-capacity cell is enabled by means of an electrically operable stairway.

The increased payload of up to three tonnes, enhanced-performance air conditioning and the combination of a fully automatic gearbox with increased engine power to over 225 kW enable an expanded scope of deployment.
