JCB HMEE
The JCB HMEE is a military engineering vehicle made by JCB.
Design
The HMEE is an armoured backhoe loader designed for high speeds in order to self-deploy with military convoys. Most backhoes are limited to much lower speeds. It is also capable of towing heavy loads and has good off-road mobility. It is based on technology from the JCB Fastrac tractors.The programme started in 2003. JCB used technologies of the JCB 4CX backhoe Loader and the Fastrac tractors to develop this system.
The HMEE is built at JCB's plant in Pooler, Georgia, integrating armour made by American Defense Systems.
