The ADI Bushmaster family of vehicles has been developed jointly by ADI Limited and Timoney Technology Limited to provide a unique combination of protection, mobility and comfort.

This combination makes the vehicle ideally suited for a range of applications including policing, peacekeeping, troop transport, weapons platform and protected logistics.

The integral features provide the Bushmaster with a comprehensive range of performance and protection capabilities without the need for costly, bulky and complex add-on kits.

Bushmaster's durability and reliability are proven as a result of over 250,000 km of controlled testing.

The Bushmaster platform has been selected by the Australian Army as the basis for their Infantry Mobility Vehicle, which is currently in production at ADI's Bendigo facility.

ADI is supplying 300 Infantry Mobility Vehicles to equip infantry regiments with the capability of safe and rapid deployment incorporating a range of options. The vehicle will be supplied in six variants.
