Description

The Maung is a light tactical all-wheel drive vehicle that in standard configuration is capable of carrying four personnel. The vehicle is a four-door configuration (with removable doors), with a side-hinged tailgate onto which a spare wheel/tyre can be mounted. In standard configuration the vehicle is fitted with a removeable soft top. The front windscreen folds forward onto the bonnet.

Overall dimensions are given as 4.9 metres (16 ft) long, 2.4 metres (8 ft) wide and 1.8 metres (6 ft) high. Unladen weight does vary slightly by source but is between 2,160 and 2,270 kilograms (4,760 and 5,000 lb), with gross vehicle weight stated to be 2,910 kilograms (6,420 lb). [3] Maximum road speed is 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). Gradeability is 60%, side slope capability is 30%, and turning radius is 6.85 metres (22 ft) Fuel tank capacity is 80 litres (18 imp gal; 21 US gal), this giving a cruising range of up to 800 kilometres (497 mi).

The Maung is believed to be powered by a Toyota-sourced 2.4-litre 2GD-FTV four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, this developing 149 hp (151 PS; 111 kW) at 3,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 400 N⋅m (40.8 kg⋅m; 295 lb⋅ft) at 1600–2000 rpm. This is coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Suspension is independent for the front axle, leaf springs for the rear. It has been suggested the chassis may be taken from the Toyota Hilux. [2] For the civilian version, the engine may use Isuzu 2.5-litre engine like those used in Isuzu D-Max. [4]

The third version of Maung was named by Joko Widodo on 18 January 2023. [5] This version has an empty weight of 2,510 kilograms (5,530 lb), 136-horsepower (138 PS; 101 kW) engine power, length of 4.835 mm (0.2 in), width of 2 metres (2,000.0 mm; 78.7 in; 6.6 ft), and a height of 1.89 metres (1,890.0 mm; 74.4 in; 6.2 ft). [6] The interior of the vehicle was taken from Isuzu MU-X, but the engine used is the Toyota Hilux engine. [7]

Development

Development of the Pindad Maung traces back to 2018. At that time the name of the vehicle was Bima M-31, and the originator of the idea was the Commander of the Infantry Armament Center (Danpussenif) Surawahadi. Actual development was carried out by PT Pindad (Persero). [8]

The Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto is understood to have contracted 500 units of the vehicle from PT Pindad. He stated the purchase of vehicles from Pindad was an effort to revive Indonesia's domestic industry. [9] On Wednesday, 13 January 2021, Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto officially handed over the first 40 units to the Army Chief of Staff, General Andika Perkasa. The handover was witnessed by the Indonesian Air Force Chief of Staff, the Indonesian Navy Chief of Staff, as well as high ranking TNI officials. [10]

The Maung is offered in two versions, military and civilian. [11] On 18 January 2023, the mass production version of Maung was introduced to the public, [5] previously called Morino MV Cruiser at the Indodefence 2022 in November 2022. [12] [6] Morino stands for Motor Rekacipta Indonesia (lit. Indonesian-invented vehicle), but this name is no longer used after being given a new name by Joko Widodo. [7]
