Jordan Light Vehicle Manufacturing (JLVM) is a Jordanian manufacturer of tactical, armored, and special-purpose light vehicles founded in 2003 and affiliated with JODDB/Jordan Investment Group.

Jordan Light Vehicle Manufacturing (JLVM) was established in 2003 to design, develop, manufacture, and market tactical, specialized, and protected vehicles for armed forces, law enforcement, NGOs, and other customers. Its public company pages describe a product mix that runs from armored vehicles to soft-skin and mobile medical platforms.

JLVM's production context is unusually well documented for a small regional vehicle manufacturer. A company profile distributed through the Jordan Chamber of Commerce places the factory in KADDB Industrial Park in Al-Mafraq Governorate, with eight production lines and a build-to-order or engineer-to-order model for commercial-chassis vehicles. That structure helps explain why JLVM pages mix named armored vehicles, internal-security vehicles, ambulances, long-range patrol vehicles, command posts, and other tailored platforms.

The public site gives a P.O. Box in Amman rather than a street address, so headquarters coordinates are omitted. Official pages also use several parent-group wordings, while older public material describes JLVM as a KADDB/Jankel joint venture.
