The VAB is an armoured personnel carrier and support vehicle designed by the Euro Mobilite Division of GIAT Industries of France. It was designed as a wheeled troop transporter, complementing the tracked AMX-10P. Specifications for the project called for an NBC-proof, amphibious, lightly armoured vehicle to provide infantry with basic protection against shrapnel and light infantry weapons. These features were dictated by its possible usage in the event of an all-out conventional war breaking out against the Warsaw Pact; in particular, the amphibious capabilities were needed to bridge the rivers in Eastern France and in Germany. It entered service in 1976. Around 5,000 were produced.
