France Builds a Better Armored Hummer
by James Dunnigan
May 5, 2008

The French Army has received the first 30 of 931 armored vehicles, very similar to armored hummers. The PVP (Pétits Véhicule Protégé) is a four ton vehicle that can be configured to seat as many as seven (including the driver.) It's a 4x4 vehicle protected by 6-10mm composite (metal and ceramic) armor that provides protection from heavy machine-guns and anti-personnel mines. The PVP is 14 feet long, air transportable and modular, so that it can quickly shift from personnel to cargo carrier. The vehicles cost $254,000 each.
