FAUN TRACKWAY REVEALS REVOLUTIONARY PRODUCT IN MIDDLE EAST

FAUN TRACKWAY – the defence division of North Wales based FAUN MV Ltd –is set to launch its latest product at this year’s International Defence Exhibition and
Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi next month.

Designs for the manufacturer’s first recovery solution – the Vehicle Recovery Mat (VRM) - will be unveiled in hall 5, at stand C06.

VRM is used to rescue vehicles – weighing up to 70 tonnes - that have become stuck on difficult terrain such as mud, sand or ice.

VRMs have a non-slip surface that allows trapped vehicles to grip to the track and move across the ground with ease.

The mat is made from lightweight aluminium and can be laid on uneven ground as well as being split and connected by hand so the length of the mat can be ustomised to the specific requirements of any scenario. VRM is the latest addition to TRACKWAY’s product portfolio which includes a range of temporary road solutions and landing mats that are used by over 40 armed forces worldwide.

IDEX is the largest defence exhibition in the Middle East, attended by over 900 companies worldwide and is visited by key military and government representatives.
Chris Kendall, business development manager at FAUN TRACKWAY, said: “Stranded vehicles can delay crucial operations and traditional means of releasing
them are not always quick, practical or possible.

“After speaking with our customers and military experts from all over the world, our engineers designed a product that is flexible, robust and able to act as a critical
recovery tool.”

The International Defence Exhibition and Conference will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from the 20th – 24th February 2011.
