The VBCI 2 is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. It is an improved version of the original French VBCI, developed by Nexter Systems. Developers took into account feedback from tests and combat experience of the original VBCI. The Mark 2 was first publicly revealed in 2015. This IFV is aimed mainly at export customers.The VBCI Mk.2 has a higher level of protection and firepower. The Mk.2 is much heavier than its predecessor. It weights 32 000 kg opposed to 25 600 kg. Vehicle is powered by a new engine.Even though the new VBCI 2 looks like the older version. In fact it has an all-new hull that is longer and has a higher roofline. The hull is welded of aluminum armor. Vehicle can be fitted with add-on modular steel armor package or even titanium armor plates, so protection level can be tailored depending on mission requirements. All-round protection is against 14.5-mm armor-piercing projectiles. NBC protection and fire suppression systems are fitted as standard.

VBCI All Pack 3D Model
VBCI infantry fighting vehicle contractorsIn November 2000, the French Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to Giat Industries (now known as the Nexter Group) and Renault VI (now Renault Trucks) for the first 65 vehicles (54 VCI – including 12 with the Eryx missile system – and 11 VPC). A joint venture company, Satory Military Vehicles, was set up by Giat and Renault Trucks to be responsible for the VBCI and a number of other vehicles.In September 2003, it was decided to wind up this company and reorganise relations between the two companies.It was determined that Giat would be prime contractor and have responsibility for marketing of the VBCI, the AMX 10P and AMX 10RC. Renault Trucks Defense is the prime contractor with responsibility for marketing of the VAB.Renault has responsibility for the mobility systems, including the driver’s station, engine, gearbox, suspension and axles and on-board electrical networks. Nexter is responsible for the armoured hull, interior furnishing, assembly and integration of the turret and vehicle, observation, command and control, weapons and self-protection systems.

VBCI 3D Model
The Véhicule Blindé de Combat d’Infanterie (VBCI, “Armoured vehicle for infantry combat”) is a French Infantry fighting vehicle designed to replace the AMX-10P.[3] They entered active service with the French Army in 2008, with 630 vehicles ordered up to 2010. Spain [4] and the UK [5] have shown interest in the vehicle.The Véhicule Blindé de Combat d’Infanterie is built on an aluminium hull which carries a modular THD steel and titanium armour, which can be replaced in the field. The 8×8 wheel combination is designed to make the VBCI more comfortable and less costly than a tracked vehicle, while giving it sufficient mobility to back the Leclerc tank. The VBCI is also designed to be transportable by the Airbus A400M, with an empty mass less than 18 tonnes (full load mass up to 28 tonnes).

VBCI 3D Model
The 3D model was created on real base. It’s created accurately, in real units of measurement, qualitatively and maximally close to the original.
Model formats:
– *.max (3ds Max 2008 scanline)
– *.max (3ds Max 2008 vray)
– *.fbx (Multi Format)
– *.obj (Multi Format)
– *.3ds (Multi Format)
– *.mb (Maya 8.5)
– *.lwo (Lightwave 6)
– *.c4d (Cinema 4D 11)
* renders Are made in 3ds Max 2008 using vray 1.5 (studio environment is not included in the set)
If you need any other formats we are more than happy to make them for you.
The model is provided combined, all main parts are presented as separate parts therefore materials of objects are easy to be modified or removed and standard parts are easy to be replaced. If you experience difficulties with separating standard parts we are more than happy to give you qualified assistance.
We greatly appreciate you choosing our 3D models and hope they will be of use.
We look forward to continuously dealing with you.
Sincerely Yours,
Hum3D Team
