The French GIGN received this new type of vehicle in 2014.
After working closely with RTD (Renault Truck Defense) on a solution for a tactical vehicle that can receive an assault ladder, RTD proposed this improved model of a military armored vehicle.

Indeed, the SHERPA Light APC comes from the military world. Studied to equip armies of the whole world, this armored vehicle allows to stop bullets of various calibers as well as to resist to explosives of type IED placed on the roads.

The result is a functional armored police vehicle, allowing to approach dangerous places, and to possess a pod that allows to intervene on heights, as to open airplane doors, even going to the 2nd deck of an Airbus A380, but also to access to building floors.

The ten members inside the vehicle are highly protected and have gun ports to respond to fire. This vehicle is air transportable.

We could see during the assault of the printing shop in Dammartin against terrorists, January 07, 2015, the need for this type of vehicle.

Being able to receive a dozen gendarmes of the GIGN and being able to progress as close as possible to the risk, this vehicle also serves as a command vehicle.

Chevrolet Suburban of the GIGN
The French GIGN was equipped with American Chevrolet SUBURBAN cars following the need to possess assault vehicles that it had missed during the rescue of the Air France plane in Marignane in 1994.

These vehicles showed their qualities and had to be changed.

The SHERPA Ligth APC is now able to reinforce and protect the approach system in the face of the risk that the GIGN may face in its counter-terrorist or entrenched people interventions. 

With a unit cost approaching 300,000 euros, the price will certainly be revised downwards following the important orders of the vehicle by many countries.
