New Land Rover Defender Military Vehicle For UK Armed Forces

The UK Ministry of Defence is looking to replace up to 9,500 legacy vehicles across several fleets with a new modular Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV). Land Rover has presented the new Defender Wolf Series II as its next-generation light mobility vehicle, designed for military applications. The Defender Wolf Series II is built on the modern Defender's D7x monocoque architecture, with a heavy-duty steel bumper, integrated skid plate, and high ground clearance. It also features protection grilles for the headlights, heavy-duty steel wheels, and high-aspect-ratio all-terrain tires. The vehicle is highly modular, with at least nine different variants, including a general purpose vehicle, a tactical mobility vehicle, a utility vehicle, an enhanced protection vehicle, and a battlefield ambulance. Land Rover will be showcasing four variants of the Defender Wolf Series II later this month at the British Army DVD event. The exact powertrain details of the Defender Wolf Series II have not been revealed.
