FNSS made its first export to the region in 2000
Carrying out important projects in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, FNSS made its first export to the region in 2000 with the ZMA (Armored Combat Vehicle) project. The 2011 AV-8 8×8 project, a configuration of the PARS 8×8, is still Türkiye’s largest export of land systems in the Turkish defence sector.
AV-8 8×8 vehicles, which FNSS is producing with its Malaysian partner DRB-HICOM Defence Technologies (Deftech) through technology transfer, constitute an important element of the Malaysian Army’s Mechanized Infantry and Armoured units with 12 different configurations.
