At Defence Expo 2012 AMW military vehicles on show

Third largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer Asia Motor Works (AMW) of the country will show few of its range of military vehicles named ‘AMW Defence’ to the 6th International Land and Naval Systems Exhibition, also called the Defence Expo 2012. The show will be held from March 29 to April 1, 2012 at the Pragati Maidan in New Delhi. AMW will be displaying three vehicles at the Defence Expo 2012, including a 4*4 General Service/ Logistics Truck, a firefighting truck meeting defence specifications and a 6*4 heavy duty Recovery Vehicle, which would also be available in 6*6 configuration. The ‘AMW Defence’ range is to be made at the company’s Bhuj plant.
It is decided by AMW to enter the military trucks market in India given the growing demand for defence vehicles in the country. The Indian Army, which is the third largest in the world currently has a fleet of more than 150,000 vehicles and buys around 7,000 new trucks every year. The new range of military vehicles that the AMW team is developed is led by John Begg, that carries extensive experience in both Europe and Asia in the development of military vehicles including logistics vehicles and armoured vehicles.
AMW is interested to take part in various vehicle programs for the Indian Defence Forces and has the necessary infrastructure at its Bhuj plant, including facilities for product manufacturing, testing and prototyping of bespoke vehicle applications.Automobile News
