Cambli International Thunder 1 is an armoured police tactical vehicle built by Cambli International Incorporated of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.
The 4 X 4 wheeled light armoured vehicle (LAV) is based on the company's armoured car platform using International 7400 SFA chassis. Armour plated body and bullet-proof glass gives the vehicle ballistic protection from high calibre weapons.[1]
The vehicle is being marketed to civilian agencies or police forces in Canada and the United States. Thunder 1 targets law enforcement agencies looking for a cheaper alternative for armoured rescue vehicles.
