No station should be without a mix of News Vans alongside our agile Mid-Size platforms. Loved for their versatility and functionality, these platforms are staples to the broadcast industry for extended duration events, bringing comprehensive transmission and production capabilities to work for any station’s needs.

Designed to be highly capable transmission, production, REMI, and disaster recovery platforms, AMT’s Van platforms can also be equipped for 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 have you covered — wherever the mission takes you!
