This vehicle is from a variation of an infantry vehicle designed by the French company SOFRAME, a subsidiary of the LOHR Group and was designed in 2016.


The Gendarmerie Nationale has ordered 90 of these vehicles to replace aging VBRGs. They will be delivered in batches of 30 per year between 2022 and 2024. Some will be deployed overseas, as is the case for the VBRGs, and some will be deployed in mainland France, including 20 at the GBGM (Groupement de Blindés de la Gendarmerie Mobile) near Paris. The others will be assigned to the provinces according to service requirements.


They are be equipped against ballistic, incendiary and chemical aggressions, with video surveillance cameras allowing them to visualize their environment, as well as night vision cameras, a tear gas launching system and other more specific equipment such as a gunshot detector indicating the direction of a firearm shot.


They are also be equipped with acoustic and light deterrent systems, as well as a self-protection device that releases tear gas around the vehicle.

 

The first vehicle was delivered in the first half of 2022 for initial testing. It weighs 14.5 tons and has a maximum road speed of 110 km/h.
