Roshel and Ford mass-produced Senator MRAPs capable of withstanding anti-tank mine explosions

Roshel partners with Ford to expand Senator MRAP production. On August 8, 2024, Roman Shimonov, CEO and founder of Roshel, a Canadian manufacturer of armored vehicles, spoke about a recent meeting held at Ford Motor Company's headquarters in Dearborn. During this meeting, the latest model of the Senator MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) armored vehicle was presented, and discussions were held regarding ongoing and future projects aimed at enhancing production capabilities in support of U.S. government and NATO programs. Shimonov acknowledged the Ford team's engagement during these discussions. Ford is integral to Roshel's operations, as the Canadian company uses Ford's F-550 chassis as the foundation for its Senator series of armored personnel carriers (APCs). This collaboration allows Roshel to utilize Ford's established vehicle platform, which is then modified and armored according to the specific requirements of Roshel's clients. The partnership ensures that the vehicles produced meet the demands of various defense and security operations. The Roshel Senator series has been in production since 2018 and has been deployed in various roles, including protecting astronauts during the Crew Dragon Demo-2 test flight in 2020 and extensive use in Ukraine as part of military aid packages during the ongoing conflict with Russia. By July 2023, 550 Senators had been delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with subsequent deliveries bringing the total to 750 by October 2023 and 1,000 by December 2023.
