Emirati company Eneron has introduced the “Magnus,” a cutting-edge hybrid off-road military vehicle designed to revolutionize border patrol and rapid-response operations.

With a sleek, muscular design, the Magnus is equipped with composite panels on either side, offering level two ballistic protection. The vehicle is further enhanced with over 20 cameras, providing a 360-degree view of its surroundings.

Inside, the Magnus boasts a high-tech digital cockpit with a multi-functional steering wheel to optimize operations. Its advanced artificial intelligence-assisted capabilities enable real-time threat detection and interception.

Additionally, the six-seater is equipped with state-of-the-art cyber and electronic warfare technologies, ensuring protection against GPS jamming and spoofing in high-threat environments.

Eneron, aiming to establish itself as a major global player, reportedly developed the Magnus from scratch in just under three months.

‘100% EV Hybrid’

The Magnus is powered by a robust electric motor delivering up to 800 kilowatts of power.

This enables the vehicle to reach speeds of 130 kilometers (80 miles) per hour and accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) in just seven seconds.

“It is 100 percent EV hybrid, with one electric engine in the front axle and one in the rear axle, but the diesel just charges the battery up so we can do 800km which is amazing in such a big beast,” Magnus design consultant Michael Robinson explained.

One of the major challenges Eneron faced in developing the Magnus was the vehicle’s weight, which can quickly drain power and limit its operational range.

“People said it was crazy to design a vehicle like this because one of the biggest challenges was generating enough torque. When you’re going uphill, after a while the electricity becomes too hot. So we’ve had to refine the entire design to overcome the heat issue by adding a diesel generator,” said Sean Teo, managing director of Eneron’s subsidiary Kintsugi Holding.
