The total amount of the contract has not yet been communicated.
Origin of the VR Fox project
The development of the VR Fox began after tests carried out in February of this year. According to Ali Jansons, owner of VR Cars and creator of the concept, the vehicle was born from market analysis and design limits of existing models.
With its experience in the development and maintenance of racing cars, the VR Cars team used this know-how as a basis for designing the first military prototype of the VR Fox, combining performance, robustness and mobility adapted to tactical operations.
This initiative represents an important step towards the technological and operational independence of the Lettonne armed forces.
