德英法三国代表签订了共同研制和生产及今后装备GTK/MRAV/VBCI未来轮式装甲战车的合同。致使迫切需要研制未来装甲战车的起因是,目前装备这些国家陆军大多数分队的装甲战车都是30～35年以前研制的,即德国装备的美制M113履带式装甲输送车,“福克斯”TP_z轮式装甲输送车;英国的“撒克逊”装甲输送车;法国的VAB装甲输送车等。这些车辆不仅老化过时了,而且使用寿命几乎完全到期。但更主要的是,它们不符合现代作战要求,特别是不具备抵御现代反 Germany, UK and France signed a contract to jointly develop and manufacture GTK / MRAV / VBCI future wheeled armored combat vehicles. The cause of the urgent need to develop future armored combat vehicles is that the armored combat vehicles currently equipped with most of these national army units were developed 30 to 35 years ago, namely the U.S.-made M113 tracked armored transport vehicle from Germany and the “Focus” TP_z Wheeled armored vehicles; Britain's “Saxon” armored vehicles; France's VAB armored vehicles and so on. Not only are these vehicles obsolete, their service life has almost expired. But more importantly, they do not meet the requirements of modern warfare. In particular, they do not have the ability to resist modern times
