STREIT Group Debuts Four New Vehicles

At the recently concluded IDEX, STREIT Group launched four brand new vehicles that made a lasting impression. At the unveiling ceremony, STREIT Group’s Chairman Guerman Goutorov explained the huge achievements of the company and its efforts over the last 30 years to support governments in crisis situations and to save lives.

At the ceremony actor and STREIT Group’s Brand Ambassador Steven Seagal unveiled STORM, a fully electric multi-purpose tracked vehicle; DHABI, a state-of-the-art MRAP; NISR, a mounted infantry troop carrier and ground support vehicle; and CONDOR, a cost-effective MRAP.

STORM is the first tracked vehicle for STREIT Group and the first tracked vehicle ever manufactured in the UAE. “This step is a huge step for the company, and we are proud to have achieved this milestone,” said Goutorov. The other main advantage of the STORM is that it is fully electric but also comes with additional generators.

STORM has been designed to be used for a wide range of specialist military and civilian purposes. Built for the harshest environments, the vehicle offers exceptional mobility, reliability and features the latest technologies in ballistic, IED and mine blast protection. Due to the versatile nature of the vehicle, STORM is not only completely silent but can be configured with amphibious and sea floating capabilities. The vehicle can be configured with remote control systems allowing for autonomous operations.

Seagal was impressed not just by the capabilities of STORM but also by its design. “The design of the STORM looks like a crossover between a Lamborghini and a Stealth fighter and was one of the head turners at IDEX 2021,” he shared.

The second vehicle to be unveiled was the DHABI. “The DHABI combines the best technology from around the world and was specially designed for the needs of the UAE and its efforts to achieve and maintain stability in the region”, Goutorov explained.

DHABI’s V-shaped hull helps to deflect blast waves and debris away from the crew compartment. The lifted body and increased ground clearance enhance its protection against mines. With STANAG III adaptable blast and ballistic protection as a standard, and up to STANAG IV with add-on plates, DHABI comes at an advanced price but also advanced technology. The vehicle will be used by customers in varying roles such as a mounted infantry troop carrier, ground support vehicle for dismounted troops, medical evacuation platform, long-range border control vehicle, or easily configured as a command-and-control vehicle.

Seagal, who assisted in unveiling the new vehicles, added: “I believe in STREIT’s mission to save lives around the world and am honoured to unveil these vehicles which will contribute to achieving that goal.”

The third vehicle unveiled, NISR, is designed as a mounted infantry troop carrier and ground support vehicle for dismounted troops. “Our engineers spent the last two years developing NISR, using the latest technology from across the globe,” Goutorov added. Its state-of-the-art approach and departure level is unheard of in its category, so is its power with 450HP, a top speed of 120km/h, and manoeuvrability. It can be easily configured as a command-and-control vehicle, medical evacuation platform, or as a forward observation platform (FOO). The NISR offers occupants blast protection to STANAG Level IV. It features a V-shaped monocoque armoured hull design, as well as floating seats, offering advanced protection to the 10-man crew.

The final vehicle unveiled was the CONDOR, a newly designed MRAP with STANG Level 2 upgradable to STANG 3. High mobility and off-road capability mean this vehicle can be used in any hostile situation with exceptional field performance in urban as well as off-road environments. This vehicle has an 8.9 L Engine with 400 HP. It can be deployed in various missions by military and paramilitary forces.

STREIT UAE was opened in 2007 and is one of the largest privately owned armoured vehicles production facility in the world. The modern production site brings together a host of design, research and development, manufacturing, testing, training and storage facilities on one site and is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, 2008 certified.
