Chaiseri Metal & Rubber Co. Ltd. Thailand launches the new Wildcat HMV (High Mobility Vehicle) 4x4 special operations vehicle that has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Widad Group Berhad Malaysia to present to the Malaysian Army, Tentera Darat Malaysia during the Defense Services Asia (DSA) 2024 international arms and equipment exhibition in Kuala Lumpur between 6-9 May 2024.
According to information from the Thai company Chaiseri, the Wildcat HMV 4x4 special operations combat vehicle is a lightly armored ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) that is a new product development that is different from the successful First Win 4x4 family of rubber-wheeled armored vehicles, previously for government agencies in Thailand and abroad. Designed for off-road operations while protecting personnel, the Wildcat HMV 4x4 can operate in various environments, including rough and difficult terrain, to carry out missions ranging from reconnaissance, to sending back via medical line.
The Wildcat HMV 4x4 Special Operations Combat Vehicle is equipped with a high-output diesel engine and automatic transmission (Chaiseri does not specify the model of the engine or speedometer used), allowing the vehicle to reach high speeds while maintaining maneuverability.
The Chaiseri Wildcat HMV 4x4 Special Operations Vehicle has a maximum vehicle weight of 3,750 kg, a maximum operating range of approximately 500km, a top road speed of 110km/h, can climb slopes of 60%, climb inclines of 30%, and can cross wide ditches. 0.5m can cross obstacles up to 0.4m high.
The Wildcat HMV 4x4 Special Operations Combat Vehicle is designed to carry up to four personnel and has a maximum payload of 1,000kg. Chaiseri did not present any weapons installations on the vehicle on display at DSA 2024, although it is understood that the car is able to accommodate this need.
Thai Chaiseri's new Wildcat HMV has a name similar to Thai DTI's D-Wildcat reconnaissance combat vehicle, which is based on the Russian Chaborz family of motocross vehicles, but Chaiseri's Thai car is a new design from the beginning (clean-sheet).
