German Police in the Nordrhein-Westfalen State have just taken delivery of a Rheinmetall Survivor R Special Operations Vehicle.

 

Press Release, 17 December 2018: Rheinmetall has just handed over a heavily protected Survivor R Special Operations Vehicle to the police in the German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen. Herbert Reul, Minister of the Interior of Nordrhein-Westfalen, symbolically presented the keys to the police SWAT unit in Essen.

 

This versatile vehicle, ordered in spring 2018, is specially configured to meet the needs of tactical law enforcement in extreme situations. Three German states – Berlin, Saxony and Nordrhein-Westfalen – now equip their Police Special Operators with the Survivor R.

Made by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles, the Survivor R epitomises Rheinmetall’s commitment to the twin modern imperatives of security and mobility. Developed in cooperation with Austrian special vehicle maker Achleitner, the Survivor R is superbly suited to police SWAT team-type operations. Vehicles of this kind are particularly important in high-risk situations when special operators need to be transported safely to the area of operations, or for evacuating persons from the danger zone.

 

The Survivor R is based on a high-performance 4×4 MAN truck chassis, outfitted with a steel armour passenger compartment. Capable of reaching a top speed of over 100 km/h, this high-mobility vehicle combines tried-and-tested automotive engineering from large-scale production runs with state-of-the-art force protection technology from Rheinmetall.

 

Systematic use of civilian off-the-shelf and standard military components results in a sensibly priced vehicle, while simultaneously benefiting from Rheinmetall MAN’s global service and maintenance network. This makes the Survivor R a cost-efficient, easy-to-maintain vehicle with low lifecycle costs and high operational readiness.
