Thai firm Chaiseri has unveiled its new 8×8 Armoured Wheeled Amphibious Vehicle (AWAV) at the Defense & Security exhibition in Bangkok.

A company official told Janes that the AWAV on display at the exhibition is a prototype, but that Chaiseri has started producing seven vehicles for the Royal Thai Marine Corps (RTMC) under a contract awarded in August.

Deliveries of these vehicles will start mid-2024. Janes reported in August that the contract is worth THB448 million (USD12.6 million). Chaiseri said it is also pursuing exports of the vehicle.

According to Chaiseri, the AWAV measures 9.2 m in length, 3.1 m in width, and 3 m in height. Its approximate gross weight is 25.7 tonnes. Its 711 hp engine provides a top speed of 105 km/h on land and 10 km/h in water, and its combat range is 600 km, said Chaiseri.
