Netherlands to receive final Boxer APC
The 200th and final Boxer armoured vehicle has rolled off the production line at RMMV-Nederland for delivery to the Netherlands armed forces.
The 8x8 Boxer, produced by ARTEC, a joint venture between KMW, Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles and Rheinmetall Military Vehicles Nederland, was originally developed to meet the requirements of the German and Dutch armies for a highly protected APC. The Dutch forces ordered 200 vehicles in five configurations.
This final delivery, a cargo variant, comes five years after the first delivery to the Netherlands in August 2013.
