– With the intention of Serbian army In terms of technology, it is not lagging behind any other army in our environment, and to equip itself first of all with national products that are the result of national intelligence and what our defense industry can implement alone, the Zastava NTV vehicle In December 2019 introduced into the armament of the Serbian army, and in early January 2020, production of the zero series began, it is stated on the Ministry’s website.
There is interest from foreign buyers in the vehicle, both in the military and civil versions.
The Zastava Tervo 1.4t 4×4 (NTV) off-road vehicle is a modern concept domestic vehicle, “four by four”, with independent suspension and automatic transmission, which in combination with the propulsion distributor and the modern engine give optimal traction characteristics- dynamics and behavior respectively in different field conditions.

This vehicle was introduced into the armaments of the Serbian army in December 2019 and, in early January 2020, production of the zero series began in the 1 + 2 FREIGHT and 1 + 8 ĘOMBI versions.
The Zastava Tervo 1.4t 4×4 (NTV) is equipped with a four-stroke turbodiesel engine with a CUMMINS “common rail” engine, a displacement of 3760 cm3, a nominal power of 125 kW (170 ĘS) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm.

The engine uses Euro-diesel fuel, with an average consumption of 15-22 l / 100 km, depending on the substrate and load conditions. The maximum speed of the vehicle is about 100 km / h.
The declared load capacity of the vehicle is 1400 kg, but the maximum load capacity characteristics of the selected bridges and tires allow a certain reserve of load capacity, which can be used to increase the ballistic protection of the vehicle, installing additional armor or installing additional weapons.

The Zastava Tervo 1.4t 4×4 (NTV) family vehicles can successfully replace the obsolete vehicles of the Serbian army fleet, which have a similar declared load capacity, mainly vehicles whose resources have expired and which have a maintenance problem due to the inability to provide spare parts.
The field tests of the new off-road vehicle (NTV) were carried out in the second half of 2019, organized by the Military Technical Institute and with the participation of representatives of the Technical Test Center (TOC), the vehicle manufacturer Zastava Tervo-Kragujevac and representatives of engine and gearbox manufacturers.
On that occasion, the functional and operational safety of the NTV vehicle prototypes, intended for the transport of cargo and people, was verified.
The tests were conducted during intensive driving under field conditions on the intersecting turf of the Deliblato sands and the highly demanding terrains of Zlatibor and Fruška Gora, which are characterized by mountainous and hilly macadam. Each of these terrains individually assigned a different character to the supporting structures of the prototypes, so the dynamic behavior of the vehicle as a whole was observed and analyzed.
