Maruti Gypsy gets repeat order from Army, 4,100

[Judge]

They are not meant for the battlefield, are cheap to buy and maintain, very frugal and manufactured in India. Does the job of transporting officers from point A to point B, you don't really need a V8 turbo charged motor for that.

India can buy 7-8 Gypsies for the price of one Land Rover Defender, which Pakistan Army uses if am not wrong.

The order was for small vehicles not trucks

The Pakistani Army does use higher powered or might I say fancy vehicles for these mundane tasks as well. And their officers all do drive far better vehicles(for any/all needs vis-a-vis India).

Though I have to say - there is no reason to compare. Our Army's needs are satisfied with the Gypsy, then that should be so - with full production in India and a partially owned by India, it brings industrial benefits to India. What we are doing is the way to go.

Suzuki gypsy isn't indian sorry to say.

Maruti is partially Indian mate. Suzuki however is the majority share holder.

these cars are cheap and what not but its not beneficial for the long run

1)The Adam Boltoro was a 4x4 off-road vehicle assembled by the now defunct Adam Motor Company in Pakistan.

Production has now ceased and the Adam motors plant is up for sale.[1]

2)Adam Revo was a city car made by the now defunct Adam Motor Company of Pakistan. It was the first car to be designed and assembled in Pakistan.[1] Production of this model stopped by September 2006[2] due to unavailability of funds and lack of government support.[3]

@DESERT FIGHTER

Did u buy this by any chance??

None of those pakistani assembled vehicles are in production now; not even the Yasoob truck.
So the pakstani awaam is still riding around in (and getting orgasmic) with the Mehraan (aka Maruti 800).
Not to mention the 70cc "Super-Bikes" on the road.

Even in rough terrains they does really good job. Power to wait ratio is just amazing.

A shame really this is an old old design. The IA is on the hunt to replace the Gypsy in operational roles and guess these new buys are for the non-operational/logistical role. Just like the Ambassador was a mainstay in official Government of India purposes for a long time the IA is set in its ways as far as the Gypsy goes and hopefully this is one the last purchases of the Gypsy the IA makes.

We have the same Suzuki Jeep in Pakistan but in shorter wheel base. Its engine is awful. 1000cc but drinks petrol.

 

[cloud_9]

Gypsy King can churn out 115 Nm of torque and 80 bhp of power and it's a good lightweight (1.6 tons) 4x4 vehicles.Nothing works better than a Gypsy in the outback.

Bhai they have manufacturing plants in Pak... is that hard to understand or "google" for you... as for indigenous solutions... janay di bhai... adding a couple of hooks and conboy lights.. even local unit mechanics can do it.. anways... good luck.

Manufacturing? of CKD assembling? In india, all subsystems are manufactured by local vendors, assembled in maruti-Suzuki plants. In pakistan, most of the subsystems (atleast major ones) are they imported or made in pakistan? If they are manufactured locally and still the vehicle costs that much, there is something wrong...

In the recent terror attack in Uri, one terrorist ambushed QRT gypsy killing the good colonel and 2 other jawans. Hight time IA replaced gypsies in combat area with bullet proof vehicles..

for normal traveling gypsy is ok........but in combat duty they should have tactical vehicle...........

That is what.... non-combat area it is OK, but terrorist affected areas they should have tactical vehicles. You never know when they will be attacked. And any attack will come on these soft vehicles.

Do we still have jongas??
@OrionHunter

Nope!! Can you believe that those antique Jongas were made by hand at Jabalpur? There was no automation. It sucked! We got one specially made for the Himalayan Car Rally in 1985 in which I took part. Took us a couple of weeks to modify it, but it was pretty solid with an imported Nissan engine! We lost out on the last leg as we turned turtle, landed in a ditch and wasted four hours to get the bloody thing on road with the help of a recovery vehicle!! Jeeez!

But those were the days!
