The interior is bright and ergonomically designed, providing sufficient space for a crew of up to ten persons with personal equipment, as well as extensive radio and command equipment.The consistent use of civilian-commercial and military series components enables an affordable vehicle price. This makes the Survivor R a cost-effective, easy-to-maintain vehicle platform with low life cycle costs and high operational readiness.

The strategically significant order confirms Rheinmetall's position as a major supplier in the field of Public Security and represents the company's first sales success in the area of modern protected police vehicles. The Survivor R from Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) stands for the themes of security and mobility that the high-technology company Rheinmetall is dedicated to.
