The Pindad APS-1 or APS-1 (Indonesian: Angkut Personel Sedang-1|lit=Medium Personnel Carrier) is an armored vehicle made by Pindad. The vehicle is based on the APR-1V with improved capabilities by using 6×4 wheel drive.[2]
The difference with the APR-1V prototype is the replacement of the chassis model from Isuzu to the Perkasa truck chassis made by PT Texmaco.[3] This nearly 11 tonne combat weight vehicle is powered by a diesel engine built into the Perkasa truck, namely the Steyr WD 612 with a cylinder capacity of 6,600 cc which produces 220 PS of power. The engine is paired with a manual transmission, 6 forward and 1 reverse.
The maximum speed on flat road reaches 120 km / hour. APS-1 has been equipped with power steering and air conditioning (AC). The APS-1 has a ground clearance of 41 cm making it agile enough to cross bumpy roads (off-road) and a turning radius of 8 m. This armored vehicle is capable of running on a 60 degree incline and a 30 degree slope.[4]
