KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept 24 (Bernama) --  Nizra Industries and Çukurova Defence of Turkey are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at advancing military and defence vehicle technology in Malaysia. This collaboration, through Nizra's Special Vehicles division, will focus on the joint development and production of cutting-edge tactical chassis designed for a wide range of defence applications.

The partnership underscores Malaysia's commitment to strengthening its defence sector by enhancing local manufacturing capabilities and fostering international collaboration. It is part of the country's broader strategy to establish itself as a key player in regional defence technology and innovation.

Nizra Industries, an emerging leader in the defence sector, continues to make significant strides with its innovative approach to high-mobility vehicles, tactical support systems, and future plans for armored personnel carriers (APCs). With the expansion of its R&D facilities and advanced manufacturing processes in Negeri Sembilan, the company aims to contribute more effectively to Malaysia's growing defence industry.

This collaboration brings together Nizra Industries' evolving expertise with Çukurova Defence's extensive experience in military systems design. The two companies will work to develop a new generation of tactical chassis that deliver superior mobility, adaptability, and durability for various defence vehicles, including armored and support platforms.

Nizra Industries recently completed the successful delivery of the 4x4 High Mobility Gun Tower Vehicle, designed to tow the 105mm gun and transport ammunition and accessories for the Artillery Division of the Royal Malaysian Army. The vehicle, fully designed and manufactured locally, utilizes a base chassis sourced from Italy.

Nik Iruwan Dato' Nik Izani, CEO of Nizra Industries, stated, "Teaming up with Çukurova Defence marks a pivotal moment for Nizra Industries. This partnership will significantly enhance our defence manufacturing capabilities and elevate Malaysia's position as a hub for defence technology in Southeast Asia."

Mr. Huseyin Darici, Deputy General Manager of Çukurova Defence, commented, "We are excited to collaborate with Nizra Industries. Their growing expertise and commitment to quality make them an ideal partner for developing innovative and robust tactical solutions. Turkey has a special bilateral relationship with Malaysia, making this partnership even more strategic."

The joint venture will focus on the development of scalable, high-performance chassis systems to meet the evolving needs of global defence forces. It will also emphasize nurturing local talent and advancing technology transfer, supporting Malaysia's self-reliance initiatives and the continued growth of its defence industry.
