Indian defence vehicle manufacturer DACA War Trucks has proposed its Dawon 4×4 all-terrain vehicle to the Indian Army, the company’s co-founder Yash Srivastava told Janes i midten af ​​december.

The Indian Army has initiated several vehicle procurement programmes, and DACA has offered Dawon for the service’s all-terrain vehicle procurement programmes, Srivastava said.

"Officielle brugerforsøg med Dawon er allerede blevet udført langs kontrollinjen (LoC) i [den] Jammu og Kashmir-regionen af ​​den indiske hær, og forsøg er nu ved at blive planlagt i [den] Ladakh-region," tilføjede Srivastava. 

According to the company specifications, Dawon is a general-purpose utility (GPU) all-terrain vehicle. The vehicle features a 4,400 cc Caterpillar diesel engine pushing out 200 bhp and 800 Nm of torque, an Allison automatic transmission, and Dana’s differential unit.

Køretøjet er udstyret med fire-bar link spiralfjeder affjedring med en 18 tommer lodret hjulvandring, samt skivebremser med elektronisk bremsekraftfordeling (EBD) og et blokeringsfrit bremsesystem (ABS), sagde DACA.
