HAFEET.. Emirati armored vehicle with various variants and unique specifications

It is no longer possible to rely on unprotected logistical support vehiclse behind the front lines in asymmetric wars that we are witnessing today, due to the multiple fronts of attack. Therefore, the UAE company, Nimr, which is part of the platform and system sector of EDGE Group, has manufactured a six-wheel- drive armored vehicle (6 × 6). It was called “Hafeet” and Nimr produced 5 categories to meet all requirements, namely: (First: Hafeet 630A, Hafeet Armored Ambulance, Hafeet 620A, Hafeet 640A, and Hafeet 620).

Goals of the company

Nimr seeks through its vehicles to achieve development in technical excellence, dynamic performance and exemplary structural design.
All Hafeet vehicles depend on the six-wheel drive structures, which contributes to standardizing training, reduces maintenance and spare parts burdens, and reduces operational costs and machinery life cycle costs.

Nimr’s vehicles are designed to meet military standards, as their service life exceeds commercial vehicles converted to military or subsequently armored vehicles or vehicles that use propulsion systems derived from commercial vehicles.

The new vehicles are characterized by advanced specifications in reducing the impact of explosions and protection from ballistic missiles, and provide high levels of protection in the harshest environments. It is designed and engineered to meet the most demanding mission requirements, and its monocoque structure provides a higher degree of structural rigidity that contributes to increased flexibility and responsiveness.
