Jankel Reveals Fox Tactical Utility Vehicle at DSEI

Jankel recently launched a new Tactical Utility Vehicle (TUV) variant as an addition to their Fox Toyota-based tactical vehicle line up. The vehicle was officially launched at the recently concluded DSEI in London.

The Fox TUV vehicle provides a proven, robust, and reliable base platform that benefits from global logistic supportability. Adding to the features of the LC79 base platform, the Fox TUV has been designed to meet a suite of specialist user requirements and standards that make it an ideal choice for those wanting to operate a tactical support vehicle alongside an in-service Toyota based tactical fleet.

Moreover, the Fox TUV has already been fielded in-service with several undisclosed customers globally and represents the best in class for a closed architecture utility platform of this type. The TUV is a modular design certified for NATO air transportability.

Also, on display in this new Fox TUV variant at DSEI was a concept demonstrator fully electric conversion of the platform, replacing the original internal combustion engine with a complete battery electric drive solution. The concept demonstrator is being tested to prove the future potential platform upgrade to hybrid and or electric drive to provide forward-thinking options for electrification when required.

The Fox TUV is one of a family of Tactical Vehicles that includes the Fox RRV, LRPV and LUV, plus the recently developed 6x6 variant that benefits from increased payload and capacity whilst maintaining the mobility and tactical fighting capability of the well-proven 4x4 configurations. There are over 250 of the Fox tactical vehicle family in service across the globe, and the TUV adds flexibility and capability to those fleets.

Sam Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Jankel, said: “Whilst we publicly launched the Fox TUV for the first time at DSEI, it’s a variant of the Fox family that has already been fielded in-service with undisclosed Jankel customers.

As a result, it’s launched as a fully proven product. In addition, our recently announced UK production capability puts us in an ideal place to run variants of our Fox family off the UK production line, including the TUV. We see Fox as an ideal and forward-thinking replacement for any defence procurement authority seeking to supersede an out-of-date Land Rover tactical fleet, delivering immediate proven reliability, capability, and value for money.”
