PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya (PT SSE) is displaying the P2 Tiger 4x4 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) for the first time at Indo Defence, marking the show debut for the type. The P2 Tiger was formally unveiled this January, in France by Eka Suryajaya, CEO, PT SSE, and Jean Vandel, CEO, Texelis. The P2 Tiger is PT SSE’s most advanced armoured vehicle and is built on Texelis’ Celeris mobility platform. PT SSE is also working on innovative tracked vehicles to be presented in 2026.
The 18-ton GVW vehicle will be manufactured at PT SSE’s plant in Tangerang. PT SSE designed the vehicle architecture and the armoured hull, which has also been produced and welded in the factory.
Speaking at the vehicle unveil earlier this year, “It is our most complex, but our fastest vehicle development,” remarked Suryajaya, “Dealing with only one supplier is so much easier for us as we don’t have to deal with procurement, delays, adaptations…” The Indonesian firm carried out the full assembly of all components, with support from Texelis for the integration of the mobility platform. PT SSE then conducted the integration of all tactical and combat systems aboard.
“What we do is not localization,” Vandel said, while speaking at the vehicle unveil, earlier this year. “P2 Tiger is an Indonesian vehicle, the first to benefit from the scale of technology transfer we offer. PT SSE produces a great vehicle for which we are honoured to be major suppliers, with the responsibility for the whole mobility system, our specialty. We are proud to see the start of what should be a very long-term partnership with our friends at SSE and which could go way beyond the 4x4 market. We can help SSE in many other ways, exactly as SSE has a lot to offer to the French market and the whole world ».
The new generation P2 Tiger 4x4 APC was developed specifically to meet Indonesian Army requirements and is designed for troop transport. In its current APC configuration, the P2 Tiger can carry a team of 8 passengers under armour plus 2 crew members. Built on the Celeris mobility platform from Texelis, the P2 Tiger benefits from Texelis’ experience working on the French Army’s Serval 4x4 APC, Celeris is a unique offer through which Texelis takes care of the whole mobility system for its clients’ vehicle, from initial design to qualification and production. The French firm’s Celeris solution comprises a 375hp, 8.9L engine from Cummins, an automatic 6-speed transmission from Allison, a transfer case from Powerline, as well as axles manufactured at Texelis, among other hardware, software, consulting and services. All elements have been designed and adapted according to PT SSE’s specifications to perfectly match their vehicle design.
“The main difference between P2 Tiger and our previous developments is the independent suspension system, as well as all the technological advantages which make Celeris much more modern than the conventional technology we used before,” according to Yusuf, Technology Director for PT SSE.
The P2 Tiger is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as Logistic Transport, Command Post, Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Ambulance, and many others. The new P2 Tiger has STANAG 4569 level 2 to 4 protection, depending on the configuration. Its maximum GVW is 18 tonnes, with a base weight of 14 tonnes. Two P2 Tigers can be loaded into a single A400M, a tactical transport aircraft which has already been selected by Indonesia.
