Madrid, Spain - Jul 14, 2009 - gtd-Nexter Systems presented the vehicle in the French Embassy in Spain

The VBCI, platform proposed by the Consortium gtd-Nexter Systems to attend the requirement of the Spanish Ministry of Defence for a new wheel 8x8 armoured vehicle (VBR 8 x 8), has been the vehicle star in the French Parade of the 14th July, held in Paris in commemoration of its national holiday.

The high profile of the presentation evidence the importance of the VBCI operability in the French Army, which began to acquire the vehicle mid-2008 and currently has received over 100 units.
The same day gtd-Nexter Systems presented the VBCI in a stand at the reception that French Ambassador held every year in his residence in Madrid, where personalities invited could see a mock-up of the vehicle and a video of the vehicle in the Paris Parade and in operation.

The industrial platform formed for the development of the Spanish version of the Vehicle will be led by a Spanish company acting expressly in response to this project. Its shareholders will be gtd and Nexter Systems, and they will have around them leading Spanish companies in their respective areas of activity.
The vehicle to be presented by gtd-NEXTER Systems already has experience in real operations scenarios, boasts an excellent protection/mobility ratio, has been developed using the most modern technologies, has a modern, modular design and provides a very high level of readiness.
