MobilityHigh Performance,
Outstanding Reliability
The PIRANHA masters any terrain and all environmental conditions, from arctic cold to extreme heat.
With its extraordinary power-to-weight ratio, unique independent suspension with high vertical wheel travel, central tire inflation and anti-lock brake systems, the PIRANHA stands out through excellent mobility both on- and off-road. Amphibious capability is optional.
The PIRANHA features a modular, interchangeable protection system, which can be adapted to different threat scenarios.
The vehicle’s armor steel hull, the comprehensive integrated mine protection, and the scalable add-on armor are the main characteristics of this modular protection system, all tested and certified according to STANAG 4569. Optional add-on modules include RPG and bomblet protection, as well as active protection systems.
