Pindad APS-1

The Pindad APS-1 or APS-1 is an armored vehicle made by the Indonesian defense manufacturer Pindad. The vehicle is based on the APR-1V with improved capabilities by using 6×4 wheel drive.

Design

The difference with the APR-1V prototype is the replacement of the chassis model from Isuzu to the Perkasa truck chassis made by PT Texmaco. This nearly 11 tonne combat weight vehicle is powered by a diesel engine built into the Perkasa truck, namely the Steyr WD 612 with a cylinder capacity of 6,600 cc which produces 220 PS of power. The engine is paired with a manual transmission, 6 forward and 1 reverse.
The maximum speed on flat road reaches 120 km / hour. APS-1 has been equipped with power steering and air conditioning. The APS-1 has a ground clearance of 41 cm making it agile enough to cross bumpy roads and a turning radius of 8 m. This armored vehicle is capable of running on a 60 degree incline and a 30 degree slope.
