TAG Dynamics, a vehicle manufacturer from the United Arab Emirates, has unveiled the VELOX, its new Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), a light tactical platform built on a Toyota Hilux chassis.
According to a report by the website Defence Blog, TAG’s ISV was developed to support the mobility of small units and provide flexibility for missions requiring speed, range, and adaptability across varied terrain, according to a company statement.
The VELOX is built on a commercial pickup chassis and configured as a four-seat 2+2 platform. It is rated to carry up to 1,000 kg of payload, allowing units to install mission equipment, modular systems, or an optional rotating turret with a gunner station, depending on operational requirements.
TAG said the vehicle can reach speeds of up to 175 km/h and has an operational range of approximately 600 km. According to the company, its lightweight yet rigid design is intended to balance high mobility with durability during sustained field use.
Meanwhile, the interior layout was developed to support rapid crew movement and task execution. The VELOX ISV is ideal for infantry units that require a fast, low-profile vehicle for transport, reconnaissance, and light fire support roles.
The launch by TAG Dynamics comes as infantry squad vehicles have become an area of growing interest among militaries seeking to improve small-unit mobility without relying on heavier armored platforms.
These vehicles are typically used to move squads quickly, transport equipment, and support dispersed operations, particularly in expeditionary or irregular warfare environments.
