Request a QuoteSustaining MRAP-Class Protection & High-Payload Mobility
The Otokar Cobra II represents a quantum leap in tactical vehicle design, evolving from a light reconnaissance platform into a 13-ton powerhouse offering MRAP-level protection and massive payload capacity. While it shares a name with its predecessor, its engineering DNA is distinct, featuring a high-torque 6-cylinder engine and a fully independent heavy-duty suspension. ABS Defence understands that maintaining a Cobra II requires a different logistical approach than the lighter LAVs. We provide a specialized, heavy-duty supply chain ensuring that these frontline fortresses retain their superior mobility and ballistic integrity.
The Cobra II abandons the V8 of the past for a high-torque inline-6 configuration designed to move heavy armor. We specialize in the specific components of this modern power pack.
6.7L Turbo Diesel Engine Support:
Supply of complete overhaul kits for the 6.7L 6-Cylinder Turbo Diesel engine (Common Rail Fuel System).
Thermal Management Parts: High-capacity intercoolers, viscous fan clutches, and oversized radiators essential for preventing overheating in desert operations under full armor load.
Fuel System Precision: High-pressure fuel pumps (HPFP) and electronic injectors that tolerate varying fuel qualities found in conflict zones.
Allison Transmission Components:
Parts for the Allison Automatic Transmission (typically 2000/3000 series architecture) used in the Cobra II.
Transmission Control Modules (TCM), heavy-duty torque converters, and filtration kits to prevent shift failures.
Heavy-Duty Suspension & Axle Systems for 14-Ton Platforms
Unlike the lighter Cobra 1, the Cobra II requires suspension components capable of managing substantial Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) while maintaining off-road speed.
Independent Suspension Modules:
High-Articulated Control Arms: Supply of reinforced upper and lower control arms designed to withstand the impact of IED shockwaves and rough terrain.
Coil-Over-Shock Units: Heavy-duty springs and large-bore shock absorbers specifically tuned for the 13+ ton weight class, preventing "bottoming out."
Driveline & Hubs:
Planetary gear wheel hubs and heavy-duty half-shafts designed to transfer the massive torque of the 6.7L engine to the wheels.
Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS): Advanced digital CTIS manifolds and wheel valves that differ significantly from the mechanical systems of older generations.
Advanced Electronics & CAN-Bus Architecture Maintenance
The Cobra II is a digital native. Its maintenance involves complex electronics that go beyond simple wiring.
Vehicle Electronics:
Multiplexing Systems: Replacement modules for the vehicle's central computer and power distribution units.
Driver Interface: Digital dashboard displays, warning panels, and sensor clusters.
Vision & Situational Awareness:
Spare parts for thermal cameras, day/night vision periscopes, and 360-degree situational awareness sensors often integrated into the Cobra II hull.
Blackout Lighting Systems: IR-compatible headlights and convoy lights.
