NIMR’s History

In 2000, the first NIMR vehicle design is announced by a joint venture of UAE and regional investors. The concept is to come up with a multipurpose vehicle intended to replace the current 4x4 light tactical vehicles. A year after, a prototype vehicle was first displayed at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2001. On the same year, a dedicated production facility was also established at Duleil, Jordan.

In 2002, 2 prototype trial vehicles were produced and tested. 3 years after, a 6x6 variant was first displayed at IDEX 2005.

In 2010, 60% stake in NIMR was acquired by Tawazin Holdings. In 2011, construction started on a new factory in the Tawazun Industrial Park in Abu Dhabi. A metal fabrication plant was also established. In 2015, the ownership of NIMR was transferred from Tawazun to EDIC.
