Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV), formerly called the Fast Attack Vehicle (FAV), is a high-speed, lightly armored sandrail-like vehicle first used in combat during the Gulf War in 1991. Due to their dash speed and off-road mobility, the DPVs were used extensively during Operation Desert Storm. The first U.S. forces to enter Kuwait City were United States Navy SEALs in DPVs. The DPV was built by Chenowth Racing Products, Inc. It is powered by a 200 hp (150 kW) Volkswagen engine, making it capable of accelerating from 0 to 30 mph (0-50 km/h) in only four seconds able to travel at speeds of up to 80 mph (130 km/h). With its standard 21 gallon (79.5 litre fuel tank), the DPV has a range of about 210 miles (338 km). An optional fuel bladder can extend the range to over 1,000 miles (1,610 km). Payload capacity is 1500 lb (680 kg).
