Jane's Consultancy at IDEX Jane's Consultancy services are customised to individual client needs and can be provided as a one-off or as part of an ongoing relationship. In the AB14 only the lower hull and engine compartment has been retained, along with the AVDS 1790 V12 diesel engine and the CD850 transmission. In order to place the crew compartment at the rear of the hull, the direction of travel of the vehicle had to be reversed and the suspension geometry realigned accordingly. The former driver's compartment has been modified to form the crew compartment and is now accessed via an electrically-operated ramp at the rear of the hull.
Compartments located above the track sponsons provide additional external stowage.
The high internal capacity means the AB14 can carry out other roles, such as command post or tracked-ambulance, in addition to its ICV role. The AB14's crew compartment and engine bay will have tank levels of protection and can accommodate the mounting of enhanced reactive armour packs. The AB14 will be fitted with a nuclear, biological and chemical filtration and air-conditioning system. Temsah heavy ICV prepares for its public debut at IDEX 2001. The crew compartment is accessed via an electrically-operated ramp at the rear.
