Optional add-ons include the fire-fighting systems in the engine and crew compartment, a night vision system, NBC filtration system, Remote Control Weapon Station (RCWS), gunner turret etc. As a personnel carrier, the various applications for THUNDER vehicles include police, logistics, peacekeeping, ambulances and more.

 

AMIR is a multi-purpose 4×4 or 6×6 mine-protected vehicle, that can carry up to 12 people and a payload of up to 3 tons. It has independent suspension for tactical mobility. Optional add-ons include the manual one-man turret 12.7/20/25/40mmcaliber remote control weapon station, 81/120mm mortar carrier; missile launcher/ anti-tank missile launcher/anti-aircraft turret and more.

“Each of the THUNDER and AMIR vehicles offers a cost-effective solution with superior performance and protection relative to its price,” says Shlomi Shraga, Gaia Automotive’s CEO. “But more than that, what distinguishes our solutions is our ability to work with the customer to produce a vehicle that is tailored to their requirements. We are currently engaged in a number of vehicle assembly knowledge-transfer projects to customers in their own countries. Together with the client, we are working to establish assembly plants, creating jobs for locals and work for local subcontractors, allowing the client independence in managing the project, and reducing project costs by up to 25 per cent. We are actively pursuing further such knowledge-transfer opportunities.”
