One of the best logo’s I have ever seen… Body protection of the vehicle is B6, meaning it can withstand the impact of all small arms, including sub-machine guns. An RPG will pose a bigger problem, especially when fired from nearby. The Tiger is meant for police, paramilitary police and the army. I saw it on a police equipment exhibition in Beijing so here it is in anti-riot dress.

The Tiger comes standard with a turret on the roof, possible weaponry for the military includes several types of machine guns or a small mortar.  This however is the anti-riot version so it comes with a, still rather nasty, 9-tube tear gas launcher.

Gigantic double wheels at the back for grip on fresh blood. It is big! 5970/2300/2280, weight is 8625kg. Could also be a nice vehicle to turn into a camper, to go on holiday to hard-to-reach places, like Tibet. Huakai Vehicle Equipment makes a lot of other interesting stuff, check: www.hktzc.com.
