On this occasion, Arquus, the only French vehicle manufacturer developing platforms for these forces, is showcasing its range tailored to the technical requirements of these elite troops.
For this 7th edition of the exhibition, Arquus, a long-standing partner of the FS and Parachute Brigades, is unveiling its new generation of VLFS (Light Vehicles) and PLFS (Heavy Goods Vehicles), vehicles designed in close collaboration with the French Army Technical Section (STAT), the French Armaments Directorate General (DGA), and operational units. These joint efforts have resulted in particularly high-performance platforms adapted to the challenges of the field.
PLFS and VLFS: The Culmination of an Ambitious Project. After delivering the first 25 PLFS Standard 1 vehicles, Arquus is currently producing the second version, which represents a significant step forward in this strategic programme. Delivery of the new PLFS vehicles to Special Forces and Parachute units is underway, ensuring increased deployment and engagement capabilities.
In perfect synergy with SOFINS, the launch of deliveries of the PEGASE light vehicle marks a key milestone, a symbol of excellence in Special Operations. Arquus is committed to delivering 126 PLFS vehicles and 206 VLFS vehicles over the next five years, ensuring a generational leap for French Special Forces and unparalleled mobility.
A Complete and Proven Range: In addition to the PLFS and VLFS vehicles, Arquus offers a wide range of vehicles and platforms dedicated to special forces. Available in Special Forces versions, the VLRA, FORTRESS, and BASTION equip numerous armies around the world. The equally proven SABRE has already won international acclaim thanks to its mobility. Designed to adapt to the most demanding requirements, Special Forces vehicles meet the specific needs of each international partner.
With exceptional mobility, exceptional crossing capacity, exemplary speed, and optimized firepower, the Arquus Special Forces range is designed to meet the most technical requirements.
