(asked on 6th April 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what variants of CV12 power packs are fitted to (1) the Challenger 2 tank, (2) the Challenger Armoured Recovery and Repair Vehicle (CHARRV), and (3) the Trojan armoured engineer tank.
The variants of the CV12 powerpacks fitted to the Challenger base vehicle family are:
| Powerpack |
Challenger 2 | CV12-6A |
Challenger 3 | CV12-9A |
Challenger Armoured Recovery and Repair Vehicle (CRARRV) | CV12-5C/6C |
TITAN/TROJAN | CV12-8A |
A small number of CRARRV vehicles are currently fitted with CV12-5C powerpacks that will be replaced with CV12-6C powerpacks on failure or when the vehicle is attending base workshop, whichever comes first.
