At Eurosatory 2012, the French Company ARQUUS formerly Renault Trucks Defense manufacturer of armoured vehicles and military tactical trucks has unveiled a new version of its VAB 6x6 armoured personnel carrier named VAB Mark 3. This vehicle is not a simple upgrade, but it is a new vehicle design that is fully adapted to new threats on the battlefield such as IEDs and mine blast. The aim of this vehicle is to provide a replacement for the old BTR, M113 and VAB based on the design of a combat proven vehicle and a cheaper price. Renault Trucks Defense offers the vehicle in several versions as personnel carrier, ambulance, battlefield surveillance, mortar carrier, command post etc. In September 2020, Morocco has announced its plan to acquire VAB Mk 3. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
