Development started around 2003 and the first prototype was built around 2006. It was unveiled to the public in 2008. It was planned that 150 would be built, however due to the current global financial crisis only about 40 have been delivered by 2010.
The vehicle is an all steel construction with a reported Level 3 protection of STANAG 4569. It uses a 320hp Renault engine and transmission., which gives a top road speed of 90 km/h and operational range of 600 km.
The vehicle can be used for other roles, such as ambulance, however currently only the APC has been ordered, though a demonstrator with a Mk III turret mounting a Cockerill 90mm main gun has been produced.
