The FNSS ZAHA Marine Assault Vehicle (MAV) is a Turkish amphibious assault vehicle unveiled in 2019. Though greatly resembling the American AAV-7A1 AMTRAC, the ZAHA is a new design. The diesel-powered tracked vehicle is capable of seven knots in water, or 70km/h on land, and can be deployed from landing platform dock vessels.

— In-game description

The MAV is an amphibious assault vehicle made available to the No-Pats in Battlefield 2042. It offers three gun positions and a spotter seat instead of one gunner and basic passenger seats, a significant change from the AMTRAC appearing in earlier titles.

The MAV is special that once it have been entered at least once, then even if nobody is in it the team will still controlling it. Regardless of someone is in it or not, players can deploy in it, enemies cannot drive it, and never lose health overtime to being left behind. Looking at an empty MAV shows a blank name above it, and in case of a friendly it will also shows a [0/5] postfix claims nobody is in it.
