Mobile Tactical Vehicle Light (MTVL) - the latest derivative of the M113 line of armored carriers – is available as a new vehicle or as a conversion.  It offers exceptional automotive performance, substantial payload capacity and a large tailorable interior.  Benefiting from the latest simulation and optimization techniques, its cross-country mobility exceeds that of virtually anything in its class.  MTVL features an upgraded powertrain with a 400 hp 6V53TIA electronically controlled engine and a reconfigured suspension geometry giving it more than 15 inches of roadwheel travel.  Using M113 common components ensures high reliability, availability and maintainability – plus a proven design, common maintenance techniques and an established logistics support base.  As with all M113 variants, it is roll-on/roll-off transportable on a C-130.  Backed by more than 30 years experience and a world class support team, MTVL is an affordable, supportable solution for the light combat/tactical vehicle role.
