OVIK Crossway
OVIK〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OVIK: CROSSWAY Armoured and Special Role Vehicles and Chassis )〕 (also trading as OVIK CROSSWAY)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OVIK: CROSSWAY Armoured and Special Role Vehicles and Chassis )〕 is a British company which designs and manufactures specialist and armoured vehicles and chassis systems. Established in 2008, and based in Dorset, OVIK designs and develops specialist vehicles (and other equipment) for defence, security, emergency services and commercial customers. Since 2012 OVIK has been developing a new range of vehicles based upon its own CROSSWAY chassis systems (The CENTAUR-44 and the CENTAUR-66 chassis). All the vehicles based on this system also go by the brand name CROSSWAY. OVIK now only designs, manufactures and supplies specialist vehicles based on the CROSSWAY CENTAUR-44 & CENTAUR-66 chassis systems and under the CROSSWAY marque.
==History==
Formed by brothers Jez and Duncan Hermer in 2008, OVIK has been both a specialist vehicle manufacturer and an engineering consultancy offering support for the design, prototype and test of all manner of land-based and amphibious special vehicles. Historic products include the OVIK PANGOLIN Armoured Public Order Vehicle, the Cameleon IV440 Modular Mission Vehicle, the Armoured PHOENIX Land Rover and the MEERKAT Super Light Tracked Vehicle. OVIK was deeply involved in the transformation of the Singapore Technologies Kinetics Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier vehicle into the UK MOD's WARTHOG vehicle, a vehicle developed as an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) for Operation Herrick in Afghanistan. Founding member Jez Hermer MBE, a former Royal Marines Major, was also the Royal Marines lead on development of the Hagglunds BvS10 VIKING vehicle for 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines
OVIK is based in Dorset, a county in the south of the United Kingdom - and is close to the British Army's Armour Centre at Bovington - the 'Heart of Armour' and the birthplace of the tank. The name OVIK is derived from the name of the Swedish town Ornskoldsvik often shortened to OVIK, a town Jez Hermer is associated with through his work with Hagglunds, a company headquartered in the town. Hermer drew on his association with Ornskoldsvik when he named the company in 2008.
