“The Patrol Warrior by Premcar was developed in Australia specifically for Australian conditions, and to partner with another Australia-based company in Directed Technologies for these important cabin technology updates is fantastic,” says Premcar Engineering Director, Bernie Quinn.

Widely regarded as Australia’s most comprehensive off-road mapping service, Hema Maps was launched in 1983 with a range of printed land and marine maps.
In 1996, Hema Maps invested in new GPS technology and undertook the largest mapping expedition ever done by a private company in Australia, and since 2007, it has digitally created and updated their maps a to allow road users to navigate precisely over any terrain — urban, off-road or rugged and remote — via its in-built application. All MY24 Patrol customers will receive a 1-month free subscription to the Hema Maps application.
