TAD Turangga
Indonesian infantry mobility vehicle
The TAD Turangga is an Indonesian armored infantry mobility vehicle developed by Tugasanda Defense (TAD). The name means horse in Javanese.
Design
The Turangga is built on the chassis of the Ford 550 Heavy Duty, which is popular to be converted into a military vehicle because of its reliability. Almost everything belongs to the Ford F550, be it the chassis, suspension, steering wheel, brakes, gearbox and transfer case.
The troop transport type (APC) can be loaded with 12 soldiers, including the commander and driver. In this role, Turangga is designed to carry out missions such as rapid raids, peacekeeping operations and convoy escorts. The Turangga can be driven at a maximum speed on flat roads of up to 110 km/h. The fuel tank capacity is 160 liters of diesel, which is enough fuel for the vehicle to travel up to 800 km.
In appearance, Turangga's design seems to be inspired by the Typhoon MRAP, made by the Streit Group, from the United Arab Emirates. However, Turangga does not have the ability to withstand land mines like the Typhoon.
