Agrale Marruá AM250: 4×4 diesel specifications and off-road capability

The Agrale Marruá AM250 is a 4×4 utility vehicle powered by a diesel engine producing 123 kW and 600 Nm of torque, with a gross vehicle weight of 5,700 kilograms. It was developed for demanding operational environments, pairing a rugged structure with strong payload capacity. Built on a reinforced chassis, it is designed to work on uneven ground and tackle steep gradients, delivering off-road performance without sacrificing stability or safety.

Cab options and operational versatility

The model can be configured with either a single cab or a double cab, allowing it to be tailored to different missions and operational needs. This flexibility supports both personnel transport and the movement of equipment across a range of operating scenarios.

With this operation, Agrale aims to reinforce its international expansion efforts and increase the Marruá’s presence in overseas markets. Long used by defence and security forces, the vehicle continues to position itself as a platform intended for professional applications in varied operational settings.
