The Pindad APS-1 or APS-1 ({{langx|id|Angkut Personel Sedang-1|lit=Medium Personnel Carrier}}) is an armored vehicle made by Pindad. The vehicle is based on the APR-1V with improved capabilities by using 6×4 wheel drive.{{Cite web|url=https://republika.co.id/berita/breaking-news/nasional/10/01/14/100918-panser-aps-2-buatan-pindad-siap-melaju|title=Panser APS-2 Buatan Pindad Siap Melaju|date=January 14, 2010|website=Republika Online}}
Design
The difference with the APR-1V prototype is the replacement of the chassis model from Isuzu to the Perkasa truck chassis made by PT Texmaco.{{cite web|date=2008-12-10|url=http://www.dephan.go.id/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7468|title=BPPT-Pindad Berencana Kembangkan Tank Untuk Kebutuhan Tni|publisher=Dephan|accessdate=2011-11-14|language=id}} This nearly 11 tonne combat weight vehicle is powered by a diesel engine built into the Perkasa truck, namely the Steyr WD 612 with a cylinder capacity of 6,600 cc which produces 220 PS of power. The engine is paired with a manual transmission, 6 forward and 1 reverse.
The maximum speed on flat road reaches 120 km / hour. APS-1 has been equipped with power steering and air conditioning (AC). The APS-1 has a ground clearance of 41 cm making it agile enough to cross bumpy roads (off-road) and a turning radius of 8 m. This armored vehicle is capable of running on a 60 degree incline and a 30 degree slope.{{Cite web|first=Rangga Baswara|last=Sawiyya|date=2019-01-06|title=Pindad APS-1, Cikal Bakal Lahirnya Panser Anoa|url=https://www.airspace-review.com/2019/01/06/pindad-aps-1-cikal-bakal-lahirnya-panser-anoa/|website=Airspace Review|language=en-US|access-date=2021-04-03}}
