Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) is supplying the Danish armed forces with 14
heavyweight protected recovery vehicles.
Weighing some 36 tons, the Heavy Tactical Recovery Vehicle (HTRV)
is based on the tried-and-tested RMMV
SX45 8x8 chassis, combining extreme stability, safety and crew comfort with
outstanding manoeuvrability, whether on the road or in the toughest terrain.
The RMMV HTVR is able to
recover heavy disabled vehicles weighing up to 40 tons or containers weighing
up to 17 tons – quickly and safely, even under the most extreme conditions.
The RMMV HTRV thus ideally complements
the array of equipment fielded by modern armies: many of the tactical and
logistical vehicles with protective modules used in deployed operations today
have become heavier, making a high-performance recovery capacity imperative.
Level 3/3 ballistic and
anti-mine protection keep the crew safe from small arms fire and IED blasts.
The recovery module of the RMMV
HTRV is made by the US company Miller Industries Towing Equipment.
The RMMV HTRV is equipped with
a heavy rotator recovery and lifting crane with an output of 75 mt, together
with two independently controllable Rotzler HZ090 winches and a Rotzler TR200
main recovery winch with 30-ton tractive force.
It also features various
mission-specific items of equipment. Integration of the Miller recovery module
will take place at MAN Trucks Bus in Denmark, thus constituting a 100% offset
transaction.
The Danish armed forces will be
the first on the European mainland to introduce the RMMV HTRV.
Denmark already has a number of
tactical and logistical vehicles from the company’s HX and SX families in its
inventory.
Delivery begins in the first
quarter of 2014, and is scheduled to conclude in the second quarter of 2015.
The Heavy Tactical Recovery Vehicle (HTRV) is based on the tried-and-tested RMMV SX45 8x8 chassis.
