The Marine Multi-purpose Vehicle or MMPV is a military 4WD motor vehicle created by the Philippine Marine Corps to replace M151 MUTT jeeps in service as they are hard to maintain with problems concerning availability of spare parts.
Creation
The first prototypes of the MMPV are equipped with an unknown Mitsubishi diesel engine and transmission, 4WD and chassis.[1]
Variants
When approval is obtained, the Philippine Marines plan to produce variants of the MMPV, including the following:[1]
- Troop transports
- Ambulance
- Communications
- Command posts
- Military Police vehicles
