Patria AMV XP will be sent to Japan as part of the testing phase of the tender the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces commenced to replace the aging Type 96 armored personnel carriers. Other vehicles in the tender are General Dynamics LAV 6.0 and an undisclosed 8 × 8 Armored Vehicle prototype designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Patria AMVXP 8×8 has been developed to provide optimal modularity of components and to be adaptable for a wide range of versions without changing basic vehicle systems.
Patria AMVXP is available in three different models:
- Basic model provides the platform for following variants: armoured personnel carrier (APC), infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), command vehicle, ambulance, reconnaissance vehicle, anti-tank guided missile vehicle (ATGM), armoured repair and recovery vehicle (ARRV), and finally, the 120 mm Patria Nemo mortar system.
- High Roof Model provides extra space at the rear of the vehicle (34 cm higher than the basic model), which is ideal if the vehicle is used as a command, C4I, ambulance or workshop vehicle.
- Heavy Weapon Platform has been optimised to carry large-calibre weapon systems such as the 120 mm AMOS mortar system or the 105/120 mm mobile cannons (MGS)
