The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) has selected the Patria AMVXP 8X8 from Finland as its new Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier (WAPC) to replace the locally made Type-96 8X8 armored personnel carrier.
Japan is the ninth user country for the AMV Patria family of vehicles.
The company said its next step in the programme is to enter licenced-production negotiations with a Japanese company. These talks will start immediately, Patria said.
A press release from the Finnish Ministry of Defense on December 9 stated that the selection includes a vehicle production license in Japan, which will contribute to technology and the local economy.
Patria has been working for the Japanese WAPC program since 2018 and has set up a local subsidiary, Patria Japan Ltd.
The Patria AMVXP has a modular design with stealth technology (low thermal and radar capture).
