Iveco MTV

The Iveco MTV (Medium Tactical Vehicle), military designation Manticore, is an infantry mobility vehicle designed and manufactured by Iveco Defence Vehicles for the Netherlands Armed Forces. The acquisition is part of the Joint Replacement Programme of Wheeled Vehicles of the Dutch Ministry of Defence, with deliveries planned from 2023 until 2026. In Dutch service, the Manticore will replace the ageing fleet of Mercedes-Benz 290GDs of the Royal Netherlands Army, the Land Rovers of the Netherlands Marine Corps and the remaining YPR-765s of the Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force and Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. Deliveries are planned for the second half of 2023 and should be completed by 2026. Being the launching customer for the MTV, the vehicle was developed in close cooperation with the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) and adjusted to the requirements of the Dutch military.
