Pindad Prepares Mass Production Of Maung MV3 Garuda For Cabinet
BANDUNG - President Director of PT Pindad Sigit P Santosa said that the defense industry he leads has prepared the mass production of Maung MV3 Garuda which will be used by ministers in the Red and White Cabinet.
According to him, Pindad is just waiting for coordination with various ministries regarding the need for the number of units.
After that, according to him, Pindad will immediately prepare a supply chain for the mass production of the vehicle.
"So we are not stuck, today our average (production) is probably around 15 (units) per day, but later when we have full speeds it can be 30, 40, 50," said Sigit after attending the delivery ceremony of 700 units of Maung MV3 to the TNI-Polri at Husein Sastranegara Air Base, Bandung, West Java, Saturday, March 1 reported by ANTARA.
After the production capacity is sufficient, according to him, Pindad will not be a problem if it receives a large number of orders for the vehicle.
He said that currently Pindad is completing the production of Maung MV3 with a contract value of 4,100 units for the special vehicle (ransus) needs of the TNI-Polri. On this Saturday, 700 Maung MV3 units were handed over to the TNI-Polri and are already the second stage.
In September, he targets Pindad to complete 2,800 Maung MV3 units from the contract.
Furthermore, according to him, Pindad will accelerate the production of the vehicle.
"Immediately, we will complete the second contract of 1,300 (units) quickly," he said.
