Samil 20 4×4

Light Utility and Ambulance

The SAMIL 20 4×4 is the ultimate, off-road, vehicle. With “diff locks” on the transfer box and both axles, a short wheelbase and a ground clearance of 460mm, the SAMIL 20 can go where other 4×4’s fear to tread.

Based on the Unimog chassis design, but with many locally-incorporated features, the SAMIL 20 is the base component of a large range of vehicles but the cargo vehicle has been produced in the largest numbers. This has a soft-topped forward control cab and a high cargo bed able to seat up to ten soldiers, but the main feature of the SAMIL 20 is its extreme toughness, provided to enable the vehicle to survive under harsh African conditions.

Numerous variants have been produced, the two presented here being the Patrol or Logistics Utility Vehicle and the Ambulance.

Van-bodied vehicles were used for everything from artillery fire control vehicles to ambulances and mobile workshops. The cargo area can also be used to carry containers and shelters. The SAMIL 20 has been replaced in production by the SAMIL 20 Mark 2 which is powered by an Atlantis Diesel Engine (ADE) 352N and which incorporates more components of local origin.
