ALL NEW TOOLING!
Veicolo blindato medio (VBM) Freccia 8×8 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) is a medium armored vehicle developed by the consortium Iveco-Oto Melara. It is the first digitized vehicle to enter into service with the Italian Army.
The VBM Freccia IFV is based on the chassis of the 105mm-armed Centauro tank destroyers developed by the consortium during 1992-96. The first prototype of the vehicle was ready by 1996.
The vehicle has been modified to provide greater anti-tank blast protection for the crew. The interior layout of the Freccia has been optimized to carry a crew of eight soldiers, with two men in the turret and a driver.
The first VBM Freccia IFV was delivered to the Italian Army in February 2009, at Cepolispe in Montelibretti, Rome.
