The French defence industry wants to show its capacities to modernize the Albanian army with the participation of Renault Trucks Defense, a company leader in the design of armoured vehicles, which presents two of its new products, the Sherpa APC armoured personnel carrier and its new modernized armoured vehicle the VAB Mark II, equipped with new armour Level 4.

In addition to its outstanding on and off-road performances, the Sherpa Light is fully air transportable (A400M / C-130), multirole and ready for being up-armoured (ballistic and mine kits). The Sherpa Light has already been adopted by NATO, France and other countries.
