NIMR’s recently launched AJBAN MK2 include a maximum speed of 110 km/h and a cruising range of 700 km at 100 km/h to meet tactical mission requirements. The AJBAN MK2 is a 4×4 ballistic and blast protected light tactical patrol vehicle for a crew of five. Capable of accommodating a roof-mounted self-defence weapon, the vehicle also has full-time four-wheel drive powered by a diesel, water-cooled turbocharged engine. A central tyre inflation system (CTIS) allows tyres to be inflated or deflated to meet terrain conditions. This multi-role capacity vehicle is constructed with a V-hull unit structure for effective mine-blast protection and a ballistic-protected rear cargo compartment.

The nimr (meaning Tiger) is a family of all-terrain military armored personnel carrier (APC) vehicles, co-developed with GAZ and produced by Nimr LLC in the United Arab Emirates. The Nimr is designed specifically for military operations in the harsh desert climates found in the Middle East. The Nimr is a multipurpose vehicle intended to address the requirements for replacement of existing 4×4 light tactical vehicles, primarily in the Middle East and Asia. In February 2009, Bin Jabr group and Tawazun Holdings set up a joint venture to produce the vehicle which was called Nimr Automotive LLC. The production facilities are located in the Tawazun Industrial Park in Abu Dhabi.
