 OVERVIEW
PARS III 8X8 has been developed with a special emphasis
on mobility, protection, payload and growth potential.
The vehicles employ the latest designs and technologies
with a focus on the performance and durability of modern
military operational requirements.
The PARS III 8X8 combat weight is 30,000 kg and is powered by a
diesel engine. The power pack consists of a water cooled diesel en-
gine, coupled with a fully automatic transmission which generates
maximum road speed up to 100 km/h. PARS III 8X8 is capable of
maneuvering on a 60% vertical and 30% horizontal gradient, climbing
70 cm-high obstacles and crossing 200 cm wide trenches. Thanks to
the engine layout and favored balanced design, the vehicle has almost
equal axle loads. This design approach gives the vehicle the ability to
move comfortably even on loose and soft terrain, providing increased
road-holding at high speeds and short braking distances. The vehicle
has 8X8 driving characteristics, and all of its axles can be locked when
necessary. The central tire inflation system allows the driver to adjust
the tire pressures to suit different terrain conditions.
It boasts the highest steering swing on the wheels and lowest turning
radius in its class.
The fully independent hydro-pneumatic suspension system, which
provides it with the highest wheel travel in its class, ensures optimum
road grip over different road conditions. The PARS III 8x8, with its first
and third axle steering system. Thanks to state of art rear wheel steer-
ing system The PARS III 8x8, has the lowest turning circle in its class.
The ability of gradual decreasing of steer by wire of rear axles and
locking over certain speeds, together with the ABS system and the
engine brake are all features that enhance driving safety. Advanced
control algorithm, adjusting steering ratio of rear wheel steering,
safety locking feature, combined with ABS system and engine braking
ensures maximum high-speed stability and safety.
The two-man driver’s cab at front of the vehicle offers a 180° hori-
zontal field of vision and a high level of driving safety and comfort.
Large glass periscopes, and front driving and maneuver cameras with
thermal cameras located on the front and rear of the vehicle give the
driver and commander an even wider field of vision. The door cov-
ers, personnel seats, gun holders and interior lighting elements are
all designed in such a way that the comfort of the crew is ensured in
the vehicle, which can accommodate up to nine personnel. With range
of over 800 km, he PARS III 8x8 has fuel tanks incorporating special
measures to protect against explosion and puncture, and a reserve
fuel tank under the armor can be called upon in emergencies.

OVERVIEW
The PARS III 8x8 hull can be brought to the level of protection re-
quired by the user via the modular designed armor system. Modular
hull and armor design of PARS III 8x8 offers various level of ballistic
and mine protection according to customer requests. The hull form,
underbelly structure, base plates and specially developed mine-resis-
tant seats are designed to protect personnel against high-level mine
threats. PARS III 8x8 has the protection level of mine-resistant vehicles
produced for personnel transport as well while differentiating itself
through the provision of superior capabilities expected of a modern
armored combat vehicle. PARS III 8x8 vehicle runs ahead of its com-
petitors by offering similar ballistic and mine protections levels with
MRAP vehicles while maintaining combat and mobility capabilities of
modern armored combat vehicles.
The PARS III 8x8 has an integrated air-conditioning
system, and the main difference of this system that
makes it stand out from its counterparts is that even in
desert conditions, the vehicle’s internal temperature can
be kept at +25 °C.
The modular connection of the vehicle subsystems to the mine-resis-
tant hull ensures ease of maintenance and replacement. This ease of
maintenance and the easy replacement of moving parts and the pow-
er transmission systems in particular make the PARS III 8x8 superior
to its counterparts. The powerpack architecture, which can be disas-
sembled and reassembled in less than 60 minutes, gives the user the
freedom to replace the engine while on the field, providing remarkable
benefit.
The PARS III 8X8 can be transported by air (A400, C17 &
C5), sea, train or land.
