AMT’s Tactical News Truck offers the ultimate in bold, durable performance.

 

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE — STORM & TACTICAL

 

AMT’s “Kick-Ass” Tactical News Trucks are platforms designed to make bold statements in confidence and determination. Providing all the functionality of our ENG Truck and OB Van platforms — or giving storm chasers an edge in severe weather conditions — these pickup-based solutions are ideal where extreme durability, 4WD traction, and community engagement are key.

Truck models offer superior storage, deployable displays, and public address systems used for presentations and live forecasts in the field. With the storage capacity to pack in the tech and custom storage solutions to display maps, data, and live-cast, pickup truck platforms can become comprehensive live news trucks, giving traffic & storm chasers the ability to report on-scene.

On top of their ability to take you wherever the story breaks, our bold & rugged graphics make AMT’s truck platforms ideal for conveying a station’s strength in the market.

An interior connector panel is integrated into the bed and accessed through a passthrough in the cap. This approach limits penetrations and keeps connections dry while not impacting graphics. All panels are engineered to your specific needs.
