Procurement and Engineering (Armored vehicle parts)
Automobile Engineer and enthusiast working in the field of Armoured and off road vehicles specializing in subject of suspension upgrades and chassis reinforcement/modifications.

Involved in hand building 6X6 (6 Wheel drive) vehicles converted from base 4X4 (four wheel drive) vehicle chassis of Toyota Land Cruiser 79 series for APC/MRAP/Military trucks/Fire trucks and overlanding expeditions. I spend most of my time in pursuit of research and development in suspension components for armoured vehicles by collaborating/Partnering with giants of automotive parts industry.  

I started as an amateur race car engineer spearheading building of multiple open wheeled formula type vehicles and testing various engineering concepts and fabrication techniques. Always interested in a good chat about special vehicle projects and having a keen ear to listen from passionate engineers of industry, after all upholding the motto of "getting paid to do what you love" is my core ethos.

Development of armoured vehicle suspension components by real world testing and validation with support from German manufacturers. 

Components under testing and validation:

- Front axle and Rear axle Dampers
- Front axle and Rear Axle coil springs
- Front axle and Rear axle Anit-Roll Bars

The project was carried out on a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 with GVM of 5800 Kgs armoured to level of CEN B7. the vehicle was equipped with frontal protection, recovery winch and steel roof rack. 

Unsprung mass was kept heavy to emulate real world conditions by use of Composite Runflat inserts meeting FINABEL standards, Steel wheels and High load range tyres. 

Dynamic Vehicle characteristics in roll, pitch, squat and ride qualities were assessed in on road as well as off-road terrains, multiple measurements of ride height were recorded in various conditions.
