In the demonstration that followed, the boarding of an 8-member Infantry crew with full equipment and its safe and comfortable transportation at high speeds off-road was demonstrated.
The modular design and the large transport capacity of the vehicle, combined with the pioneering innovations it incorporates, provide the ability to adapt to any operational requirement, harmoniously combining high agility with a top level of protection and sufficient space for each mission.
