Hobson Industries Forms Team Thetis, Led by Dytecna

摘要

Hobson Industries, the Lincolnshire, UK, specialist vehicle builder, announces today, on the first day of DSEI, Team Thetis, to develop and market its new Thetis Public Order vehicle, Thetis is a brand new Public Order vehicle based on the Land Rover Defender chassis and is aimed at home and overseas markets. The name Thetis was chosen from Greek mythology for the Mk.lV+, Father of Achilles, Thetis had the power to create a shield around those he loved. Based on research conducted both when designing his original ALR Mk.IV proposal and subsequently evolving the better protected military specification Ranger derivative, in Thetis Peter Hobson has been able to create a vehicle which he believes better shields its occupants than any previous steel bodied armoured Land Rover, but through incorporating the latest design and materials technology in strategic alliances with other specialists in associated fields he has been able to increase protection level while maintaining operational payload.
