Road Vehicle and Military Systems Division (RVMS)

There was a time when power and ruggedness was all that was required of heavy military and civilian vehicles.

Today, requirements are much more demanding. Stability. Shock resistance. Reliability. Fuel efficiency. Life-cycle maintainability. If a vehicle doesn't score high in all these areas, it can't survive in today's competitive environment.
