CROSSWAY is an all terrain, role-flexible, heavy duty vehicle platform with significant payload and optimised for highly specialist roles. Built onto the OVIK STRIVE 4x4 or 6x6 chassis to meet customers' specific requirements, all CROSSWAY vehicles benefit from super heavy duty underpinnings designed for prolonged, arduous employment in the most extreme climatic and operational conditions. CROSSWAY is available from OVIK as a fully integrated vehicle designed and built to meet customers' specific and exacting requirements. CROSSWAY applications include armoured vehicles, armoured and non-armoured ambulances, logistics vehicles, weapons support platforms, reconnaissance, surveillance and border patrol vehicles and of course... Ulta luxury VIP limousines. 

"Design the vehicle for the worst possible operational scenario and then over engineer it"

Central to our design and manufacturing ethos is the principle of giving our customers as many options and choices as possible in the configuration of the chassis and as much freedom as they need in the design of the complete, bespoke vehicle solution.  We don't think customers with highly specialised vehicle requirements, should have to work around the shortcomings of mass produced OEM 4x4s; we don't think it's acceptable that end-users should pay good money for a highly polished, mass produced vehicle then have to go through the task of deconstructing the vehicle in order to upgrade it before modifying it so that it's fit for purpose.

At OVIK CROSSWAY, we only build the vehicles our customers actually need and want. Vehicles fit for purpose. The right vehicle for the mission. The right vehicle for the task. 

To many in the cut-throat world of mass vehicle manufacture such a philosophy would seem completely crazy; it runs contrary to all the principles of modern volume vehicle production. Of course we respect our collegues who design and build AWD vehicles for the mass market, for the most part they do a fabulous job, producing outstanding, good looking vehicles, engineered to be cost effective and extremely safe. In doing so they meet the primary demands of the mass market whilst keeping their profit margins healthy and their share holders happy. Indeed, most of us at OVIK CROSSWAY own at least one mass-market 4x4 vehicle, so of course... we get it! But mass market AWD vehicles are not designed for the most extreme, specialist applications.

At OVIK CROSSWAY we don't cater for the mass market, the dogma of the value engineer or the pocket of the shareholder; we cater for the niche customer, the specialist, the exceptional end-user who requires a vehicle to deliver more than the average 4x4. We cater for customers who require a machine to do truly extraordinary jobs in extraordinary circumstances.

Through years of personal experience of vehicle-borne operations in the defence, security, emergency services and utilities sectors, the OVIK CROSSWAY team knows that even the most robust mass produced 4x4 vehicles require serious modifications and upgrades to be able to achieve even the basic levels of performance, reliability and capabilty required to perform and survive in the most demanding and challenging operational and environmental conditions. From riots to deserts, from the battlefield to the bush fire, converted SUVs and utility trucks work at the limits of their capability, performance, payload, endurance and reliability. OVIK CROSSWAY however....... is born to the task.

WHY CHOOSE AN OVIK CROSSWAY ARMOURED VEHICLE?

OVIK CROSSWAY's heritage lies in the armoured vehicle arena with the very first CROSSWAY vehicles and STRIVE chassis having been developed specifically to fulfill an armoured vehicle requirement. OVIK CROSSWAY armoured vehicles benefit from OVIK's background and pedigree in the design and development of specialist armoured vehicles for the police and defence sectors.

Originally designed and built specifically for armoured applications, the heavy duty STRIVE chassis provides the perfect basis for the design and construction of highly protected armoured vehicles. Unlike all other armoured vehicles in the 6 tonne weight category, CROSSWAY armoured vehicles are not modified, converted or 'up-armoured' utility trucks or SUVs. OVIK CROSSWAY armoured vehicles feature a purpose-built armoured 'cortex' or 'hull' providing maximum protection and zero ballistic leakage; all built onto a chassis and drive train purpose built for the job.

OVIK CROSSWAY armoured vehicles provide a fully flexible solution to suit a diverse range of modern operational armoured vehicle requirements. Rapidly re-roled and re-configured both internally and externally, CROSSWAY armour delivers capability across a broad operational and threat spectrum, from counter terrorist duties to protected humanitarian logistics operations and from public order roles to police armed response support.

The CROSSWAY Multi Role Armoured Vehicle has been selected by two high profile UK police forces as the vehicle of choice for high intensity, multi disciplinary police operations. You can be assured that a CROSSWAY armoured vehicle is born of a thoroughbred pedigree and OVIK's deep understanding of armoured vehicle operations and design.

CROSSWAY - ARMOURED DNA

OVIK has an excellent pedigree in armoured vehicle design. OVIK management and staff benefit from extensive personal experience of armoured vehicle operations. That knowledge and experience combined with the recent success of OVIK’s PANGOLIN Armoured Public Order Vehicle for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (153 vehicles in service) has been applied in the creation of OVIK’s new CROSSWAY Multi Role Armoured Vehicle.

Up-armouring proprietary vehicles never provides the most effective automotive or ballistic solution and is highly inefficient in materials, cost and ultimately vehicle weight. Armoured vehicles should be designed and built as armoured vehicles - from the ground up. Converted OEM vehicles are simply a poor compromise; OVIK CROSSWAY armoured vehicles are purpose built, from the ground up, to protect and deliver personnel, equipment and logistics in the most hostile environments.
