REVA HISTORY

The REVA is the brainchild of Flip Marx – CEO of ICP. Collectively, he and his team of former Special Forces servicemen have over 50 years’ experience in military vehicle application and development. In October 2004, a renowned security company identified the need for a vehicle to protect their personnel during the Iraqi conflict. Due to the heightened hostility in the area, an increase in IEDs and sniper fire and the combination of urban and rural terrain, no existing vehicle could afford them the kind of protection they required.

They approached Flip Marx, who with his tactical and technical Special Forces background and expertise was uniquely equipped to find a solution. The result was the REVA Armored Personnel Carrier with its solid monocoque hull and V-shape - a combat-proven anti-landmine design. The first REVA was manufactured and delivered in December 2004 and immediately put into operation in Iraq.

The REVA proved its worth, and user-suggested additions, double-skin armoring and 63 mm armored, laminated glass was incorporated into the design. Thanks to valuable feedback from users and military advisers, further essential features have been added to the vehicle’s design, and today various models of REVA are being produced, including the REVA III, the REVA V, REVA VI, REVA Ambulance and the SUV.

REVA Armored Personnel Carriers have performed exceptionally in incidents involving IEDs, land mines and vehicle-borne IEDs. In numerous incidents in Iraq and Thailand, there were no casualties, and the vehicles were repaired and were back in operation within 10 days.
