Global Expedition Vehicles has been chosen, by military contractor BAE Systems, to be a distributor for the SD Brazos (Severe Duty) truck chassis.
BAE Systems has introduced a proven, superior chassis built for mobility in rugged and extreme operating conditions, as well as best-in-class durability. Their SD Brazos Chassis System is based on the FMTV, a family of tactical vehicles designed and manufactured by BAE Systems for the U.S. Army. With over 60,000 vehicles in active duty all over the world, the FMTV established new standards for mobility, reliability and capability in the Army's tactical vehicle fleet.
Leveraging their successful military legacy, BAE Systems introduces a superior chassis to the severe/extreme duty global market. Now available on commercial 4x4 and 6x6 platforms, they've brought military toughness to civilian duty.
The Extreme Duty/Severe Duty Chassis has superior ground clearance and slope-climbing capabilities, can ford though 30 inches of water and has a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS). Driving where other vehicles can't provides major savings in stuck vehicle retrieval costs, vehicle down time, additional transport and labor inefficiencies.
This chassis is also designed and tested to safely operate on 30% side and 60% vertical slopes. The cab-over design provides excellent visibility, reducing potential injuries as well as liability and repairs.
After five years of use in an extreme operating environment, an on-road vehicle may no longer be on the road. But the SD Brazos Chassis is designed to last 20 years in an off-road/extreme environment— outlasting any other comparable vehicle and reducing lifecycle costs.
