Tomcar

The Tomcar is a type of commercial off-road utility vehicle.

The Tomcar is made in two and four seat models, and is powered by either unleaded petrol or diesel engines. It uses a CVT transmission system and a chain driven final drive system, giving the vehicles a ground clearance of 38 cm (15").

The Tomcar's chain-driven swingarm system allows the vehicle an above average ground clearance and suspension articulation, and also create "anti-squat" or lift.

History

The Tomcar is a specialist military vehicle. The initial model was the two-seater TM2. A four-seater model, known as the TM4, was added to the lineup in order to carry more personnel. A utility version with a larger carrying capacity was also developed, known as the TM5.

It is currently in use by the Israeli military to patrol its borders and carry out various military missions. It is also used by the US Customs and Border Patrol, by the US National Guard, and by the British Army in Afghanistan.

The Tomcar has become available to the public for both commercial and recreational use since 2005.
