Ballistic and mine-protected armoured personnel carrier
The Springbuck® ballistic and mine protected armoured personnel carrier is owned in its design and entirety by DTM. This vehicle derives its name from the famous antelope known for its toughness and sure-footed dexterity. Each unit is built to stringent quality levels and can be adapted to any of our client’s individual specifications. The Springbuck® is classed as a MKIII armoured vehicle.
Various levels of protection can be offered as well as a full range of accessories offered to the armoured vehicle industry. The Springbuck®’s excellent design, workmanship and reliable performance continues to impress our clients everywhere in the field of application.
The modular interior layout of the Springbuck® can, at additional costs, be changed to re-configure the vehicle for any one of the following roles:
Command and control vehicle
Tactical patrol vehicle
Tactical fire-support vehicle
Tactical ambulance with stretcher for patients
We offer our users a package of total life-cycle support, providing maintenance, repair and engineering services, logistics information, product support, training and field support.

Multi-role armoured vehicle
Originally developed as an internal security and public order vehicle, the RG-12 has proved to be highly effective in a number of other roles such as command vehicle, cash-in-transit vehicle, bullion carrier, tactical rescue vehicle, armoured ambulance, armoured logistics vehicle, and surveillance vehicle. In excess of 700 vehicles are in service in several countries worldwide.
Offering a high degree of armoured protection, excellent on- and off-road mobility, versatility and outstanding in-service economy, the RG-12 carries a driver, commander and between six and ten personnel. The welded all-steel armoured hull is of monocoque construction with all fittings welded or bolted to the hull.
Full depth doors allow ease of access and egress and enhance operational flexibility. Conventional hinged or pneumatically operated ‘plug’ type doors are available, dependant on the role the vehicle is to fulfil. The plug type doors remain close to the hull during opening and closing, facilitating deployment of the vehicle in narrow or restricted areas.
Large armoured glass windows give the same ballistic protection as the hull structure, while providing excellent all-round vision. Additional metal mesh coverings protect glass surfaces, headlights and rotating beacons.
