| Protection |
|
One of the biggest improvements on the VAB Mark 2 wheeled vehicle is its protection level. The VAB Mark 2 has a new welded steel armoured hull, on which was added a V-shaped deflector, thereby achieving a Level 4 protection against ballistic fire and explosive charges. All the windows of the front and sides of the vehicle have the same level of protection as the rest of the vehicle.

The VAB Mark 2 comes in two chassis versions, 4 x 4 and 6 x 6. The 4 x 4 Version is a lighter vehicle, suitable for road use and monitoring and security missions. With regard to its engine, the VAB Mark 2 has a new, more powerful, six-cylinder diesel engine delivering 320 hp. It is a DXi7 type made by Renault. The VAB Mark uses a 6x6 or 4x4 chassis.

The comfort of the crew and infantry on board had been largely improved by increasing the interior volume from 9 to 11m³ This was achieved by increasing the height of the roof. The VAB Mark 2 features the latest technologies in seats and interior accessories.
