The Wolf Mine Protected
Vehicle (MPV) is a variant of the South African Casspir
and produced at the Windhoeker Maschinenfabrik (1998) Pty
Ltd (WMF) in Namibia. Windhoeker Maschinenfabrik (1998)
Pty Ltd (WMF) of Namibia is an engineering company that
was established in the Republic of Namibia in the year
1939. Since its inception the company has
specialised in heavy engineering, steel fabrication and
automotive engineering.
WMF designed and manufactured its first MPV in
1977. Since then WMF continually developed
capabilities of excellence in this challenging
engineering field. Some of these developments were
undertaken in close collaboration with internationally
recognised experts, whilst others were concluded through
the companys own research, development and testing
programmes.
In 1998 the Namibian Government bought WMF and
transformed the company into a State Corporation.
Of particular note is that fact that all WMF vehicles are
built on standard, commercially available MAN (German)
automotive components. This ensures not only vehicle
reliability, but also cost-effective world-wide logistic
support through the existing MAN dealer network.
