To enhance their operational capabilities, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has procured 20 Roshel Senator armored vehicles, totaling over $7.2 million (approximately 189.8 billion VND).
This specialized vehicle is widely utilized in apprehension operations and troop transportation across challenging terrains.
The Roshel Senator, built on the Ford F-550 platform, complies with the “Buy American” Act, despite Roshel being headquartered in Ontario, Canada. It can function as an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) or Infantry Mobility Vehicle (IMV). Measuring 5.6 x 2.4 x 2.75 meters, it boasts a 400 mm ground clearance thanks to its 20-inch wheels, ensuring agility in various combat scenarios.
In terms of protection, the Roshel Senator meets the B7 ballistic standard, capable of withstanding rounds from 308, 30-06, and 7.62 mm firearms, as well as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and landmines.
The vehicle’s cabin retains the Ford F-550 layout but is adapted for law enforcement duties. The troop compartment accommodates up to 10 soldiers and 2 crew members.
Bullet-resistant glass surrounds the vehicle, enhancing visibility and featuring firing ports for internal combat. A rear platform supports observation from the gun turret or the installation of anti-drone equipment.
Powering the Roshel Senator is a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel engine, delivering 340 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, paired with a 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission and 4×4 drivetrain.
With extensive experience in armored vehicle manufacturing, Roshel is among the few companies capable of meeting ICE’s stringent technical requirements and delivering vehicles within 30 days of contract signing.
Beyond the U.S., the Roshel Senator is employed by security forces and militaries worldwide, including South Korea, Brazil, Moldova, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and notably Ukraine, where over 1,500 units serve the armed forces and approximately 200 are used by border guards as of March 2025.
