Nimda has upgraded the existing M-113 A1 or A2 APCs and
many of its systems, and is proud to present the M-113 N-2000 as of January
2018.
The new M-113 N-2000 has a modern Powerpack, which
integrates Detroit Diesel 6V53T 300HP Engine and Allison 3000 series automatic
transmission. The Allison transmission is fully automatic, electronic
controlled and has multiple commercial uses worldwide.
Nimda also offers a complete upgrade and modernizations
of other main systems such as: Add-On Armor (RAFAEL) , Smoke-Screen Masking
System (S.M.S), Electro-Optical Sight (OPGAL) and Navigation System (Letecké
pristroje Praha).
In addition to the new powerpack many other systems were
improved among others: Engine braking system, Cooling system, Drive shafts, New
Final drives, Suspension system, Shock absorbers, Torsion bars and Driver’s
controls.
All those improvements made it possible for the M-113 N-2000
platform to be able to carry extra weight for add-on armour. In this upgrading
Nimda is offering “RAFAEL” add-on armour applications. Remote Controlled Weapon
Station is also an option. Source: nimda.co.il
