| Business details | ||||
In the under 15-tons vehicle segments, PANHARD provides a range of vehicles capable of stisfying all the requirements of modern armed forces. Since 1904, the Panhard brand has become closely linked to all operations carried out by the French Army. Generations of armoured vehicle crews have used the AMD-178, EBR and AML-60/90, and those vehicles have been followed by the Sagaie and the VBL. In the Panhard tradition, an armoured vehicle must be extremely mobile in all types of terrain in order to be able to intervene urgently thousands of kilometres from their home country. Panhard vehicles are well known for their innovative designs which provide the crews operating them with a real tactical advantage. This is well illustrated by the EBR with its two driver stations at the front and rear of the vehicle (driver and reversing operator). | ||||

Panhard has always been an expert in manufacturing easily transportable and extremely well armed vehicles, like the AML-90 and the ERC 90. The Kornet VBL anti-tank vehicle and the VBR armed with its medium-calibre gun are perfect illustrations of this tradition. The robustness and performances of Panhard vehicles have been key in crisis periods, for the French Army and for the armed forces of other countries. | ||||

Panhard has extensive experience in this field and, in particular, supplies VBL Source light armoured vehicles in co-operation with Thales, VBL PRB armoured patrol vehicles for the French Army's 2nd Hussards Regiment and the SAS (VPS) patrol vehicles for special forces. | ||||
| Operational support | ||||
Panhard platforms can be easily adapted to a wide variety of systems including command posts, surface-to-air missiles and surveillance radars. | ||||
| Logistical support | ||||
Panhard provides appropriate solutions facing operational requirements, from the A3F vehicle for airborne units to the PVP protected vehicle in line with NATO STANAG Level 2. More than 930 PVP vehicles have been ordered by the French Army. The PVP is intended to enhance the mobility and protection of support and logistic units. Currently, the Panhard PVP is deployed in Lebanon and Afghanistan since 2009. | ||||
Panhard has supplied more than 18,000 military wheeled vehicles to over 50 countries with a range of combat vehicles weighing less than 10 tonnes, as follows: - 5,400 armoured wheeled vehicles (AML, ERC 90 Sagaie, and LYNX VCR 6x6) - 2,300 VBL in 16 countries which includes 1600 in service with the French Army - 933 A4 AVL—PVP—selected by the French Army - 9,500 vehicles under 7 tonnes; most being jeep-like vehicles produced under the Auverland name. Since 2005, Panhard has supplied replacement parts and repaired nearly 1,000 major components (engines, rear axles, etc) a year under this first operational maintenance contract signed with the French Army for the support of all its P4. VBL and ERC fleets In 2010, following the success of this outsourcing operation, the entire Panhard vehicle fleet (PVP, VPS, A3 and TC10) has been included in this contract. | ||||
