Vehicle Concept

EAGLE DNA

The MERLIN's automotive design is based on the mission-proven DURO/EAGLE family.


Designed for Your Mission

The MERLIN is a lightweight yet robust, high mobility platform, designed for military use from the outset.

Mobility
Light, Fast and Agile

Specifically developed for rugged military use, the MERLIN's driveline and suspension technology is derived from the DURO/EAGLE 4x4 chassis.

This proven design guarantees superior agility, maneuverability and cross-country mobility. With a road speed of 130 km/h and air transportability, the MERLIN is the perfect choice for airborne, light infantry and special operations forces.

Due to the flexibility and versatility of the vehicle body design, the MERLIN can be configured in different variants, such as personnel transport, ambulance, logistic and SOF vehicle. With its spacious cabin and its payload of 2 tons, the MERLIN can accommodate up to ten soldiers. Optionally, it can be fitted with add-on protection kits.
