First Boxer Ambulance delivered to the Netherlands
The Royal Netherlands Army has taken delivery of the first Boxer Ambulance vehicle from ARTEC, the Kraus Maffei Wegman and Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles joint venture responsible for the delivery of Boxer vehicles to Germany and the Netherlands.
The first Boxer vehicle was delivered to the Netherlands in August 2013 – a Driver Training vehicle for the training of drivers and commanders. The Netherlands will also take delivery of Command Post variants from 2015, and Cargo and Pioneer Vehicles from 2016. The total 200 Boxer vehicles will be delivered by 2018.
The first Ambulance variant was received by the Medical Company of the 13th NL Brigade on 25 June from OCCAR, the representative of the customer nations Germany and the Netherlands. 13th Brigade is to transfer from a mechanised to a motorised brigade, and the new vehicles will enable the army to further develop its capabilities as this transformation takes place.
Germany is also receiving a total of 272 Boxer vehicle in four variants - Driver Trainer, Armoured Personnel Carrier, Ambulance and Command Post. Germany started operating Boxers in Afghanistan in August 2011.
