MULTIPLE OPERATORS — THE COMPLETE PLATFORM

No station should be without a mix of OB News Vans alongside our agile Mid-Size ENG trucks. Loved for their versatility and functionality, these platforms are staples to the broadcast industry for extended-duration events and bring comprehensive transmission and electronic field production (EPF) capabilities to work for any station’s needs. Especially well-suited for multiple operators, AMT’s “van-based solutions” are the clear choice for any broadcast applications requiring heavy equipment and payload requirements. 

Designed to be a highly-capable transmission, production, REMI, and disaster recovery platform, AMT’s Van upfits can also perform tactical applications or community outreach. Plus, with an extremely accommodating and fully customizable baseband design, OEM-certified modifications, and the expertise to build exactly what your station needs, AMT’s News Vans has you covered — wherever the mission takes you!

AMT’s News Vans offer the ultimate in the industry’s favorite station staple.

When you need to be on the air from anywhere, your mobile broadcast equipment is your lifeline. AMT designs and builds mobile communication vehicles with easy-to-use system integration that gets new-age tech on the streets. Built by broadcast engineers — we understand the mission.

Satellite Antenna

(Supports up to 2.4M)

Optional satellite antennas (up to 2.4M) can provide that needed boost to your transmitting capabilities. AMT’s industry experts know how to match functionality with payload management for the best overall balance. Whether designing for lowest profile or multiple bands (KU, C-Band) AMT has your solution!

News Van

MVP-E™ Lithium LiFePO4

Battery System

This innovative power system, named the MVP-E™ Power System, employs a 12V high amp alternator, 12V Mil-Spec LiFePO4 Lithium batteries, a PREMIUM critical inverter/charger and a real time battery management/LCD control/monitoring system which displays power load and capacity data and provides all day power — without the engine running!

Choose between the MVP-E™ Green Power or an onboard generator.

Multiple Roof Heights

(By application)

Thanks to modern engineering, cargo vans used for vehicle upfits come in a variety of lengths and roof heights. Low, mid, and high ROOF HEIGHT variants are available as well as short, mid, and extended LENGTH variants. We will help you match the size to the mission! All popular configurations are available in stock.

News Vans Generator

Onboard Generators

When Hybrid Battery Power just isn’t enough, AMT offers onboard generators tied directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. With sizes from 6.5-12kW (in both gasoline and diesel variations), AMT will keep the power flowing.

Choose between an onboard generator or AMT’s exclusive MVP-E™ green power system.

ENG / DSNG / IPNG Capable

AMT’s Broadcast Vehicles are designed to embrace the substantial changes being made in the electronic and digital satellite news gathering world. Whether you need Satellite, Microwave or Cellular Bonding, we have you covered. We’ll outfit your fleet with the best in the industry!

3-12kW Power Systems

With a power output of 3-12kW, AMT uses premium grade, true sine wave state-of-the-art inverter systems in all of our vehicles. Paired with AMT’s exclusive MVP-E™ Lithium LiFePO4 Battery Systems, that means 13+ hours of power — even with the vehicle turned off!

Edit Stations

Ergonomic Edit Stations are among the most crucial elements to any hyper-capable mobile platform. AMT’s space conscious and ergonomically designed workspaces provide the broadcast industry with the ultimate in functionality and utility to properly navigate broadcast technologies with ease.

Rack Ready or Turnkey

(Specific to chassis)

Depending on your chosen chassis, AMT’s News Vans come equipped with various levels of rack space (up to 117RU). Design the perfect cockpit for your operations and get ideal workspace for in-field editing and production.

Interior LED Lighting

Interior modifications are almost endless, but the difference ALWAYS is in the details. Extensive use of premium LED Lighting on the interior and exterior of the platform not only illuminates the work area but also accomplishes it with a fraction of the power draw of other conventional lighting systems. Available in White or Red/White our LED Lighting systems are dimmable and provide maximum light with less power draw; conserving power from the inverter systems for critical equipment.

Baseband Design

(Can accommodate any request)

AMT’s design experts individually evaluate each design to incorporate required features, customized workflow, specific ergonomic considerations, and in many instances, your strategic “special sauce.” Our veteran professionals from the broadcast industry will work with you to design the baseband glue and infrastructure that ties together all your platform’s unique features. All drawings are tailored to YOUR needs and approved before construction.

Tactical Package

It is a forgone conclusion that each distinct news market will have various requirements. A broadcaster in New England will have different needs than one in the Southeast, West or the Mid West. AMT offers the options you need to get to and from the story safely and reliably. If that requires HD bumpers, recovery winches, suspension modifications, or AT tires and rims, we aim to prepare your platform for anywhere it needs to go. Speak to your AMT rep about our tactical options. 

AWD / 4-Wheel Drive

All van-based platforms are now available with AWD/4WD, many direct from the factory. These new systems are designed to engage on the fly and add a new level of safety and performance to van platforms. Unlike times past where after-market modifications were expensive and unsupported by the dealerships, modern systems offered by OEM vehicle manufacturers make this both inexpensive and fully factory-supported. AMT stocks AMPLE AWD Vehicles. We know snow in New England!

News Vans LED Scene Lights

Exterior LED
Scene Lights

Available in different styles and locations, Exterior LED Scene Lights can be applied to your build as the most efficient way to light up any area on the job. AMT does not use the blinding, long range generic lightbars as scene lights. We use custom lightbars with scene light optics for maximum coverage!

Supports Masts
up to 60'

Optional pneumatic ENG and DSNG masts (up to 60′) can provide that needed boost to your transmitting capabilities. AMT’s industry experts know how to match functionality with payload management for the best of Broadcast Vehicle Engineering. Whether designing for maximum height, lowest profile or maximum payload, AMT has your solution!

Camera Storage Locker

(rear or main compartment)

Storage options are as limitless and unique as your station’s requirements… but a popular option is our camera storage locker. We’ll install customized lockers in your News Truck for safe equipment storage (give us the specs in the “other requests” section).

Storage Options

Storage options are as limitless and unique as your station’s requirements. Custom Cabinets and Shelving can be adapted to provide secure equipment storage and supplies. Clutter inside the work area or rear storage area is a thing of the past. Talk to your AMT representative about your needs. We have literally hundreds of options available.
