Leclerc has a pressurized nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system for the entire vehicle. The automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system can detect the fire source within 2 to 10 microseconds and extinguish it instantly, and use non-toxic flame retardants.

In order to reduce the probability of being discovered, Leclerc's surface is painted with a new low-infrared/low-visibility camouflage resin. Before the engine exhaust is discharged, it is mixed with the cool air outside the car through the air-cooling system to reduce heat signals and black smoke.

Leclerc's side skirts cover a large area, and are designed in two sections, connected by movable components in the middle. The lower section of the side skirts is equipped with a rubber plate that can suppress flying dust, and the protection range reaches almost the center of the bearing wheel.

Of the eight side skirt assemblies on each side, the first three are composite armor, and the last five are general homogeneous steel plates.

Leclerc's turret rotation and gun body pitch are driven by a backlash-free electric servo system, which is connected to the firing control system or the gun body stabilization system, and there is no danger of the hydraulic oil of the traditional hydraulic brake system being prone to fire.

Leclerc's turret rear bomb bay also has a complete protection design, including a reinforced explosion-proof partition between the bomb bay and the fighting compartment, and three explosion vents at the top of the turret end.

Leclerc uses the power system as the main development axis of the tank structure, so that it has higher overall operational efficiency and performance, including the enhancement of maneuverability and the reduction of size and weight.

Leclerc uses a new SCAMV8X-15008 cylinder water-cooled turbocharged diesel engine that is small, light, easy to start, low thermal signature, high power and does not emit black smoke, monitored by SAGEM's electronic control system (including fuel injection, Cylinder timing, data monitoring and display functions), with the advanced ESM-500 automatic transmission with microprocessor control and hydrostatic steering mechanism, the maximum output power can reach 1500 horsepower at 2500 rpm. Turning ability.

And because Leclerc is lighter, the power-to-weight ratio is as high as 28, surpassing that of M1 and Leopard 2.

The Leclerc also has a TurbomecaTM-307B auxiliary power system from Turboeca.

This system includes a turbine and generator, etc., which can provide the power necessary for the operation of the equipment on the vehicle when the main engine is off, such as charging the battery on the vehicle, providing power to engage the turret and firing control system, or when the vehicle is cold. start the engine.

In order to simplify logistical maintenance operations, Leclerc's main engine, gearbox, cooling device and auxiliary power system and other related power output components are combined into a compact rectangular package, which makes the replacement and maintenance of power packages very easy. Easy and replaceable in 50 minutes, far less than the 180 minutes required by the AMX-30.

The compactness of the powertrain is also a key factor in the substantial reduction in the size of the Leclerc.

Leclerc's fuel tank itself is equipped with a fuel pump, which can draw fuel from ordinary fuel tanks, and can fill up the fuel tank within 8 minutes. The logistics supply is convenient and fast.

In terms of carrying capacity, the Leclerc main battle tank chose the SAMM hydraulic-pneumatic suspension system developed by TRW Aerospace Systems. Each carrying wheel has a SHB-3 double-cylinder hydraulic shock absorber, which is filled with nitrogen and has excellent shock absorption. with shock absorbing function.

Due to the short body, the Leclerc main battle tank has only six pairs of load-bearing wheels, one less than the M1 and Leopard 2.

The Leclerc main battle tank has a top speed of 71km/hr and an average cross-country speed of 50km/hr. It only takes 5 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to 32km/hr.

The cockpit of the Leclerc main battle tank is equipped with three periscopes, and the central one is equipped with Thomson-CSF's OB-60 day/night observation system. The driver uses a stepless steering wheel to control the tank's forward direction.
