The vehicle, to be manufactured and redesigned by DEFTECH in Malaysia, is based on the FNSS-designed PARS 8×8 multi-purpose, multi-mission, wheeled armoured vehicle.
FNSS will provide the technical assistance and technology transfer as well as the integrated logistic support to enable DEFTECH to manufacture the vehicles.
The AV-8 will be Malaysia’s first indigenous family of 8×8 armoured wheeled vehicles consisting of 12 variants.
