Unarmored SUV, Military light utility vehicle
The Technamm Masstech T4 is an unarmoured off-road vehicle used by the French Armed Forces. It is based on the Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ 76 and manufactured by the Technamm company.
History
The Masstech T4 designed in 2016 based on a call for tenders from the French Army.[1] Faced with replacing the Peugeot P4 and while waiting for the ACMAT VT4,[2] the French army ordered 500 units, with the first one delivered in April 2017 and the last in November 2018.[3][4] The Special Operations Command also ordered 50 copies of the Masstech Recamp[5] 250 exemplary for the G5 Sahel joint force and 60 for Jordan[6] in 2019.
In mid-November 2022, France gave a first batch of Masstech T4 to Tunisia, with the ambition of providing 100 copies. In December 2022, a new contract for 128 units for the G5 Sahel Joint Force was announced.[7]
Specifications
The base of the Masstech T4 is built by Toyota in Japan, from the HZJ 76 model. Technamm then carries out the militarization in Aix-en-Provence. In particular, the vehicle is equipped with a PR4G radio, a SITEL terminal and a DAGR GPS. It can carry four or five passengers.[3] Deployed only in France with Opération Sentinelle,[5] its engine, rustic and compatible with African[3] and military fuels,[8] allows its shipment to OPEX.[3]
Its unit cost is 70,000 euros, 60% of which goes to Masstech.[8]
