fesm_ndt Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I know the Canadian Army have these as troop carriers but from posts they are not so fond of them. The latest Iveco troop carrier designed to protect against mines etc is a really nice bit of kit and the UK Mod has bought them and stuck a new badge on the front.

robin craig Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Did someone say Canada? Yes, the IVECO 40.10 turbo daily made into a military vehicle. Here in Canada they replaced the 5/4 ton Chev trucks. There was quite a hullabaloo over selecting these things. The troops are not fond of them, the name of the vehicle in service is the LSVW or Light Support Vehicle Wheeled. Due to their squeeky brakes which are horribly non tactical their nickname is Little Squeeky Vehicle Wheeled. They have suffered a lot as they were the lowest compliant bidder, just, in the procurement process allegedly. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the new ones that MOD and everyone else is buying. Great for those shopping runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 the two lower pics there were some vehicles a little like them at the Vickers tank works Scotswood rd Newcastle about two years ago , in-fact there looked to be a few different types about the same size some sheeted up so you could not see them , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les freathy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 A good friend in Canada Ed Storey sent me these two shots of Ivecos in Italian police service i think in Bosnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN CROSS Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Yes I had one a few years ago and sold it to a mate who still has it. The only obvious difference was the 'Luton' type body. It was nice but not military enough! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice to see IVECO producing their own vehicles. The engines have a good reputation. Are these vehicles still in service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 People on out site got excited several times last year when an "armoured car" fronted up. Turned out to be Panther. They all looked crestfallen when ex-squaddie me acted entirely nonchalant and told them I'd sat in a fully equipped example and had the full guided tour in 2008. From something I read on our intranet recently, we are helping the MOD equip them with GPSA. If I tell you any more, I'll have to kill you.

Stone Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yep, I got to crawl over one early on too (our lot did one of the other systems). I loved all the 'NOT A HANDHOLD' stickers on ours, looks like it failed one of the early squaddie tests! :cool2: Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
