EBLO completes new vehicle from Dutch Military Vehicles with versatile seats
Dutch Military Vehicles is specializes in the development and production of military vehicles and components, based on IVECO vehicles. In 2018, they built the Anaconda that was deployed in the Carabbean. Recently they added the Anaconda-Special Operations Forces (SOF) for which EBLO was again asked to supply the seats.
The seats of the Anaconda-SOF are as robust, safe and yet as comfortable as the seats we supplied for the Anaconda. They are from the ProTEK® brand: specially designed and built for various types of military vehicles. The seats guarantee a long life, require little maintenance and can be used in the most extreme situations.
The Anaconda-SOF has a payload of 3.7 tons and a reinforced chassis that allows the vehicle to be carried even by a helicopter. There are rail systems everywhere so that the configuration can be changed at any time. A versatile vehicle, which calls for versatile seats that can be placed anywhere.
The seats supplied by EBLO can be quickly and easily adjusted in height. In addition, the passenger seat and the three rear seats are equipped with a left/right swivel and fitted with an extra-long floor rail. All these unique adjustment options mean that the armament can be operated perfectly from all positions. Of course, the seats are equipped with a 4-point belt system with 'quick release' function. The Anaconda-SOF with seats from EBLO was also on display at the Eurosatory 2022 exhibition in Paris.
A word:
"We received a request from our customer Dutch Military Vehicles, for the supply of five new special seats in a Special Forces vehicle. The wish list was clear. In addition to comfort and high safety, the seats had to be able to swivel. Height adjustment was also a requirement and the ProTEK® seats had to be easy to place in several positions in the vehicle. This makes the vehicle multifunctional and it can be equipped with two, four or five seats per vehicle. The vehicle is based on a 4x4 off-road IVECO Multi-Utility Vehicle and was completely modified by Dutch Military Vehicles according to the wishes of the armed forces. It was quite a task to develop, produce and deliver the seats in a short period of time, but the end result is definitely worth it."
