Canadian-based Roshel has unveiled its latest addition, the Captain APC, which is designed to provide superior ballistic and blast protection while offering operational flexibility and unmatched payload capabilities.
The Captain APC, built on the robust Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series chassis, offers a highly versatile, durable, and cost-effective solution for police, border patrol, and law enforcement operations.
The new armored vejicle is equipped with ballistic protection up to STANAG 4569 Level 1 and blast protection up to STANAG 4569 Level 2, making it ideal for law enforcement and security operations in high-risk environments. Available in both manual and automatic transmissions, the vehicle comes in right-hand drive (RHD) and left-hand drive (LHD) configurations, catering to a wide range of global markets.
One of the key features of the Captain APC is its V-shaped monocoque capsule, which serves as the vehicle’s entire structure, enhancing payload capacity and durability. This design is similar to that of Roshel’s battle-proven Senator MRAP, which has been deployed in combat operations in Ukraine. The V-shaped hull is engineered to deflect blasts from underneath, offering an additional layer of protection for occupants.
The vehicle’s design also ensures rapid deployment capabilities, with transport options that include fitting into standard sea containers and being airlifted by CH-47 Chinook or C-130 Hercules aircraft. This makes the Captain APC ideal for a variety of operational scenarios. Its compatibility with high-sulfur diesel engines ensures it can operate in regions with compromised fuel quality, further enhancing its global deployability.
In terms of production, Roshel boasts one of the industry’s fastest turnaround times, with the ability to deliver the Captain APC within two weeks and produce up to 120 units per month. This rapid production capacity is particularly important for meeting urgent operational needs.
Roshel’s Captain APC also features combat locks, sophisticated electronics, and ergonomic design elements to ensure comfort and confidence for operators in high-stress environments. The vehicle’s global supply chain support and after-sales service guarantee that it remains a reliable asset for its users throughout its operational lifecycle.
