Drawing of the future concept of Lazar 2 8x8 multirole armoured vehicle
     
These modifications are carried out with the purpose to further harmonize the basic characteristics of the vehicle with contemporary world trends in development of families of multi-role armored wheel-type vehicles. The concept of LAZAR 2 represents a combination of the concept of vehicles class MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle) and MRAV (Multi-Purpose Armored Vehicle), but it is closer to the MRAV concept first of all because of introduction of independent suspension.

This concept provides for installation of different types of gun mounts, turrets and weapon compartments depending on the basic purpose of the vehicle.

Lazar has modular design which provides for installation of different weapons, sensors and communication systems, thus representing the basis for the development of a family of vehicles - armor carrier, command vehicle, ambulance, logistic support vehicle (cargo vehicle), engineer / tractor, anti-mine vehicle, carrier of artillery weapons cal. 120 /122 /155 mm, or hybrid artillery-AD missile system, etc.

As the concept of Lazar vehicle is based on the chassis and other components of standard cross country trucks, the production of the vehicle is relatively simple and fast, and the production price is low which makes it popular with the wide range of potential buyers.
