Finland introduced a new armored vehicle type MRAP

To protect the crew and assault, a certain set of measures is used (not disclosed), called the SISU Crew Body technology. Capacity together with the crew reaches 16 people. The length of the hull is 6 m, the height is 2,5 m, the width is 2,5 m. The machine is equipped with an independent suspension of all four wheels and a differential locking mechanism for both axles, ”the material says.
