Otokar’s TULPAR is Built for all Combat Environments
Otokar’s TULPAR Armoured Tracked Vehicle stands out with mobility, high firepower, and survivability features. It is designed as a multi-purpose vehicle with variants ranging from 28,000 kg to 45,000 kg to meet future global requirements.
The vehicle’s future-oriented perspective of modularity is set to increase operational flexibility by using common components and a common chassis over a wide range of variants. TULPAR comes in several variants that share common subsystems. The common platform can accommodate a medium tank; infantry fighting vehicle; armoured personnel carrier; reconnaissance vehicle; command and control vehicle; air defence; ambulance; repair and recovery vehicle; mortar vehicle, and other vehicle variants. The common platform design approach provides significant logistics advantages and reduces training burdens.
Tested in the toughest climates and on rough terrain by different users worldwide, TULPAR boasts best-in-class ballistic and mine protection with modular armour technology and armour structure that can be configured and scaled according to threats.
In addition to providing an effective solution in missions that require high firepower, TULPAR can serve in all kinds of combat environments, from urban, built-up areas and light bridges to woodlands and all terrains, especially soft surfaces where main battle tanks are unable to operate due to their heavy weights.
Furthermore, TULPAR has a power pack in the front of the hull combined with a turbocharged diesel engine and automatic transmission, which provides power ranging from 700 hp to 1100 hp. Additionally, a reliable and robust torsion bar suspension system consists of seven dual rubber-tire road wheels on each side. The vehicle also has an Automatic Track Tension system, which can adjust track tension for different road conditions to achieve mobility.
Otokar stands apart with its expertise in the design, development and system integration of military platforms. Having a wide range of tactical armoured vehicles on 4x4 (COBRA, COBRA II, COBRA II- MRAP, AKREP II, URAL, ISV), 6x6 and 8x8 (ARMA), the company’s products are internationally recognised for their survivability and modularity. Combat-proven Otokar vehicles serve in challenging terrain and extreme climate conditions as they perform various operations .
