Designed by a company with generations of military experience, it will be built in Canada by Canadians and tailored to Canadian requirements. The Nexter VBCI is engineered for success. Designed top-to-bottom as a specialized infantry fighting vehicle, it delivers a state-of-the-art approach to protection, mobility and precision firepower. It offers a high level of crew protection with add-on armour and blast protection modules. The Nexter VBCI is versatile. It has proven itself in high intensity combat in Afghanistan and in more benign peacekeeping operations in Lebanon. Its ergonomic features put a premium on crew comfort. And with its generous storage space, the VBCI can sustain a crew for three days in operations. Importantly, for taxpayers, the VBCI provides unparalleled value for defence budgets with low operational costs. Canadian soldiers deserve the best. Nexter VBCI: The right choice for Canada.
