Description
The vehicle compartment provides seating for up to 10 and powered by a Cummins B205 20 turbodiesel engine developing 205-hp of power. In December 2009, the Military Industrial Company (MIC) introduced a new version powered by a 420-hp diesel engine.

GAZ Group developed five versions based on the Tigr chassis:
 * 4-seat version with a double-row cab and cargo platform with canopy or hard top;
 * single-volume body version with a seating capacity of up to 10;
 * 2-seat version with a single-row cab and cargo platform;
 * armored body version with a seating capacity of up to 10; and
 * chassis cab with 2-seat cab version.

History
Direct customer multipurpose vehicle stood firm Bin Jabr Group Ltd (BJG) of the UAE, highlighting the development and manufacture of prototypes of 60 million U.S. dollars. The end customer is a company King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) Jordanian King Abdullah II [2]. A top performer and coordinator of the project was a subsidiary of the Gorky Automobile Plant (JSC "GAZ") CJSC "Industrial Computer Technology" (FCT). The first samples of Tiger HMTV presented in Abu Dhabi at the International Exhibition of Arms IDEX-2001.

Cars like the customer, but as a result of a contract for the supply of Tiger and has not been signed, but Jordan's Al Dulayle Arab-Jordanian joint venture Advanced Industries of Arabia (AIA, 80% of the shares in BJG) beginning with the June 2005 production of identical armored Nimr in a variety of designs.

So Gaza is still hurt - designed and ready for series production car. At GAZ were collected several cars second series - with a different interior and exterior styling. They called GAZ-233034 "Tiger" were presented at the MIMS-2002.

After the end of that year, two prototype car arrived to the Moscow OMON SWAT team into trial operation, the machine became interested in the Russian Federation Ministry of Internal Affairs and acted as the customer "Tigers". Series production cars "Tiger" was organized by the Arzamas Machine Building Plant (AMZ), where is the present day. At the Gorky Automobile cars "Tiger" is no longer manufactured.

At present JSC "AMW" (part of the perimeter of the Management Ltd. "Military-Industrial Company") makes the following standard model car "Tiger":


 * GAZ-233034 - JMP-1 "Tiger" level of ballistic protection class 3;
 * GAZ-233036 - SPM-2 'Tiger' level of ballistic protection class 5;
 * GAZ-233014 "Tiger" - military version of an armored vehicle;
 * Powertrain R-145BMA "Tiger" - command post vehicle;
 * GAZ-233001 "Tiger" - terrain vehicle in unarmored five-door body

The design
The vehicle is intended to transport people and various goods by road and off-road. Is a chassis frame construction, carrying the bulk of aggregates and body. Metal body of the car with the five-door one-volume cargo compartment, designed to carry four people and up to 1,500 kg of cargo (three-door armored-volume, designed to carry 6-9 people and 1,200 kg of cargo - for the army and police version of the machine). Cargo compartment separated from the passenger partition has seats on which you can place an additional 2-4 people.

Standard features include a car: power steering, independent torsion suspension of all wheels with hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizer bars, transfer case with a lockable center differential, limited slip differentials interwheel slip, wheel motors, automatic tire inflation with an electronically controlled, pre-heater, electric winch.

On GAZ-233001 "Tiger" can additionally be fitted with air conditioning, sound system, electric windows, auxiliary heating, independent heating, Antilock Braking System.

Lock axle differential turns the button on the panel, and a number of step-down transmission lever is included. Cross-axle differentials - cam, self locking. Borrowed from the APCs, like herself wheel suspension on the double wishbone. In addition, we have taken an APC and a centralized system swap wheels.

Housing armored versions of "Tiger" welded from heat-treated armor plates with thickness of 5 mm (7 mm for the SPM-2), after which it undergoes a release for stress relief. Armored vehicle heavier than usual, with a steel body, 700 kg. Armored body to be so strong that you could well do without a separate frame as in armored personnel carriers. But in order to unify the armored body made removable. So on the same chassis can set different body - closed passenger, armored, with a cargo platform. "Tiger" can carry a half ton of cargo.

Nimr
After the refusal of the Arab BJG continue to work on the project with the Russian company FCT [2] for each party remained with the technical documentation, in addition to Abu Dhabi were three prototypes armored held after exposure to the IDEX-2001 tested in desert conditions.

Compared with the prototype new machines Staffing MTU 6R 106 engine capacity of 325 hp, transmission Allison LCT 1000 and different geometry hulls. First machine Nimr base case were shown in 2005 at the IDEX 2005 exhibition, where BJG announced it has signed an agreement with India's Vectra Group on the establishment of a joint India-made cars Nimr.

In 2007, the exhibition IDEX-2007, the company has demonstrated AIA developed the initiative in the family car Nimr II [30], which is a further development of the basic version of the machine Nimr. Among the improvements declares: circular ballistic protection brought to the level of 3 B6 standard STANAG 4569; basic anti-mine protection from landmine weighing up to 6 kg, increased from 320 to 350 hp engine power increased to 2.5 tons capacity. In addition to the wheels, the engine and transmission, all components of the platform Nimr, including driveline, chassis and armor were designed and manufactured by BJG.
