Zastava NTV
type of Infantry Mobility Vehicle
The Zastava NTV (Serbian: Ново теренско возило, romanized: Novo terensko vozilo; transl. New Terrain Vehicle) is a Serbian 4x4, multipurpose, all-terrain infantry mobility vehicle designed by the Military Technical Institute and Zastava Trucks, and manufactured by Zastava TERVO. The primary users are the Serbian Armed Forces; the vehicle may also be offered for the export market.
Design
The first prototype vehicle was designed in 2011 by the Military Technical Institute, together with experts from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Kragujevac and engineers of Zastava Trucks, for equipping the Serbian Armed Forces. It was designed with a modular chassis to transport troops and various equipment quickly on-road and off-road.
Due to its modular chassis, many different variants were developed from 2011 to 2017. It was adopted for the Serbian Armed Forces and for export after undergoing extensive on-road and off-road tests by the Technical Testing Center. It is designed to perform in mountains, valleys, forests, as well as snowy, moist, cold and hot environments, and is capable of operating at different ambient temperatures ranging from −25–40 °C (−13–104 °F). The vehicle has approach and departure angles of 35° each. It can negotiate longitudinal slopes of 60% and transverse slopes of 35%, and can ford at 0.7 m (2.3 ft) deep in water.
The vehicle can transport 1.4 tonnes of internal cargo and can carry a 1.7-ton trailer. For example, it could carry 32 wooden boxes with sixty-four 120 mm mortar mines that weighs 1408 kg and tow 120 mm mortar.

Why this record matters
The phrase “type of Infantry Mobility Vehicle” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48813368. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2017 and 1408.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
