Indonesia’s PT SSE has officially launched the P2 Tiger 4×4 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) developed for Indonesia and built for export markets. First unveiled in January 2025 at PT SSE’s headquarters in Tangerang, the vehicle has since successfully completed a full series of road trials and is now making its international debut at Asia’s largest defence exhibition.
Designed for the needs of the Indonesian market, the P2 Tiger is also probably the first armoured vehicle with an export potential for all of Southeast Asia and beyond, the company said. Fully compliant with NATO standards for mobility and ballistic protection, the P2 Tiger combines modern technology, high survivability, and adaptability to diverse operational needs. Its modular design and large internal volume enable seamless integration of mission-specific systems, making it ideal for range development.
An modern vehicle, it integrates the Celeris high-performance platform from Texelis, designed, tested and produced with the most recent technology and with no compromise on performance, especially in terms of crossing, off-roading, systems carrying and payload, but also and maybe even more importantly, in terms of vehicle stability, handling, security and comfort for troops inside.
With these native qualities and its sturdiness, the P2 Tiger can operate in the most difficult environments and conditions in full autonomy. It can thus operate on low-quality fuel and maintenance has been specifically designed with ingenuity in mind, guaranteeing simplicity for the maintenance personnel and uptime for the operators.
In its current APC configuration, the P2 Tiger can easily fit 2+8 personnel, including a crew of 2 (a driver and a vehicle commander), one full gunner station, one specialist/systems operator, and six operators.
Its large internal space and open architecture allow for the loading and integration of several equipment and kits. Thanks to the trailing arm technology used by Texelis for the rear axle, the P2 Tiger benefits from a fully flat floor, without any intrusion of suspension triangles inside the hull, which means no waste of space and no weak point in the armored hull, a design choice which turns into a key differentiation factor.
The armored hull, developed by PT SSE with the support of Bima Bisalloy, offers a STANAG 4569 Level 2 protection (7.62x39mm) with variants already available for Level 3 (7.62x51mm /7.62x54mm) and Level 4 (14.5x114mm).
Several variants and internal configurations have already been developed and are ready for specialised troops and missions: cavalry, anti-drone, ambulance, Special Forces.
