Tulga Armoured Pickup Truck Ready for Mass Production

After more than two years of development work, Turkey’s leading commercial and military vehicle manufacturers BMC announced that the Tulga armoured pickup truck is ready for mass production.

The Tulga armoured pickup truck is designed to meet the requirements of the Turkish internal security forces. It is planned to have seven different versions. The vehicle, which was originally designed as an armoured pickup for the security forces and finalised with a work of about 2.5 years, is planned to have 7 versions in total.

It is also considered to be an important alternative for vehicles of this type, especially used in the Middle East. Maintenance needs arise in vehicles that have been armured afterwards or malfunctions occur. It is stated that Tulga can work on the field for at least 2 years without any problems since it is designed as a direct armoured. Designed with the ability to execute multiple tasks, the vehicle can deploy armour on its body. It also has a high ballistic protection level and mine sensation and is resistant to 3 kilograms of TNT.

With these features, the vehicle is considered to have become a prominent option in its own class, especially in the Middle East. It is indicated that similar vehicles that are armored after their production need maintenance in a short time or malfunctions occur, while Tulga can function without having such problems since it is designed as an armored vehicle. The first purchasers of the vehicle are expected to be the Interior Ministry and related organisations.
