It can clear up to 4,500 m² of terrain per hour and is equipped with a similar remote control system, enhancing operator safety. Built to tackle rough terrain, the Revival T can climb slopes with a longitudinal incline of 35° and a transverse incline of 20°, while resisting explosions up to 11 kg of TNT, making it well-suited for the most challenging environments.
The Revival P, on the other hand, is a vehicle specifically designed to neutralize anti-personnel mines, and features several technical improvements. One key enhancement is an 11% larger flail attachment, which optimizes its mine-clearing capacity. Additionally, the engine, specially designed by Improtex, offers a 20% power increase, allowing the vehicle to operate in more challenging conditions.
The cooling system has also been upgraded to ensure uninterrupted operations and a larger fuel tank extends its field autonomy during prolonged operations. Designed for easy repairs and to minimize accident risks, the Revival P boasts a low center of gravity, ensuring stability even when exposed to explosions.
Technically, the Revival P weighs 6,500 kg and is powered by an AGCO Power 74D engine delivering 306 horsepower and 1,200 Nm of torque. Its dimensions, measuring 4,900 mm in length, 1,850 mm in height, and 1,700 mm in width, make it a maneuverable and efficient vehicle. It can clear up to 2,500 m² per hour with a movement speed of 5 km/h. The vehicle is also built to withstand the force of a 7 kg TNT explosion, making it suitable for highly dangerous environments. The remote control system allows operators to maintain a safe distance of up to 2,000 meters, reducing personnel risk.

Both models in the Revival series use special armored materials to protect critical components such as the engine, hydraulic, and electronic systems. The integration of remote control technology allows operators to work from a safe distance, significantly reducing the risk of injury from debris and shock waves caused by mine explosions.
The Revival series offers an innovative solution for demining operations, essential to post-conflict reconstruction efforts. By securing contaminated territories, these vehicles play a critical role in rehabilitating infrastructure and protecting civilian populations. Improtex Industries continues to develop durable solutions tailored to humanitarian needs, aiming to be a leading force in global demining efforts.
The presentation of the Revival P and Revival T vehicles at ADEX 2024 reflects Improtex Industries' ambition to establish itself as a key player in the demining sector, both nationally and internationally. With their sturdy design, explosion resistance, and advanced technological features, these vehicles are expected to see increased proliferation, addressing the needs of numerous countries, particularly those affected by conflict.
