JLTV A1 Ambulance

Chassis

The Oshkosh JLTV A1 is powered by a 6.6-liter, inline 8-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine delivering 340 hp and over 900 Nm of torque, providing a favorable power-to-weight ratio for a vehicle in its class. The drivetrain is integrated with a fully automatic transmission system featuring six forward gears, one reverse gear, and a two-speed transfer case, ensuring constant four-wheel drive (4WD) capability for optimized off-road performance. 

The suspension architecture comprises front and rear independent axles with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and torsion bar, enhancing vehicle stability and ride quality across uneven and rugged terrains. The platform rides on 385 /80 R20 tubeless run-flat tires, supported by a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), allowing real-time tire pressure modulation to adapt to varying surface conditions. 

Braking performance is ensured through a dual-circuit air-over-hydraulic system with ventilated disc brakes on all wheels, supplemented by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to maintain directional control and minimize stopping distances under adverse or emergency braking scenarios. 

Weight and Dimensions

The Ambulance variant of the JLTV A1 family is designed for optimal off-road performance and obstacle navigation, offering a ground clearance of 411 millimeters. Measuring 5,530 millimeters in length, the vehicle also stands approximately 4,100 millimeters high and has a width of approximately 2,420 millimeters. Its wheelbase spans 3,683 millimeters, ensuring stability over rough terrain. Weighing around 6,170 kilograms, the vehicle provides a payload capacity of about 3,930 kilograms, resulting in a total Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 10,190 kilograms. 

Performance

The JLTV A1 maintains excellent maneuverability with a turning radius of approximately 8.1 meters, while its ability to ford through water up to 760 millimeters deep adds to its operational versatility. Designed to excel in demanding terrain, the vehicle offers a 60% climbing gradient and can tackle side slopes of up to 40%, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. Its approach and departure angles—48° and about 38.5°, respectively—allow it to navigate steep slopes and uneven ground with confidence. The JLTV A1 delivers an impressive power-to-weight ratio of approximately 34 horsepower per ton, reaches a top speed of 110 km/h, and can travel up to approximately 500 kilometers on a full tank. 

Features

The JLTV A1 Ambulance variant is specifically designed for tactical combat casualty care and battlefield medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), providing essential en route treatment and stabilization for injured personnel in high-threat environments. Its interior is configurable to accommodate various patient loads, including four litter patients, two litter plus three ambulatory patients, or up to six ambulatory patients, depending on mission requirements. Operated by a dedicated three-person crew consisting of a driver, a combat medic, and a vehicle commander, the vehicle is equipped with essential medical support features such as storage compartments for medical supplies, integrated life-support systems including oxygen and IV racks, and a climate-controlled environment to aid in patient stabilization during transport. 

Protection and Armament

The Oshkosh JLTV A1 is engineered to deliver superior protection and survivability on the modern battlefield. It features an advanced armored hull designed to withstand small arms fire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and underbody blasts, offering a level of protection that significantly exceeds that of its predecessor, the Humvee. The vehicle incorporates scalable armor kits, allowing it to be adapted to mission-specific threats while maintaining mobility. In terms of armament, the JLTV A1 can be equipped with a variety of weapon systems, including a remote weapon station (RWS) armed with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun, grenade launchers, or anti-tank guided missiles. This flexibility ensures the vehicle can perform a wide range of combat roles while keeping its crew safe in high-threat environments.
