"At Eurosatory 2014, Renault Trucks Defense unveiled the BMX01. This 6x6 multirole armoured vehicle is a new mobility and protection demonstrator for the French Army's future VBMR (multipurpose armoured vehicle). Financing shared between the French defence procurement agency (DGA) and RTD on the basis of a contract signed in June 2010. The vehicle has clocked up several thousand kilometres over all types of terrain in France (roads, sludge in Fontevraud, sand in Biscarosse) and a gunshot test hull has successfully completed ballistic resistance tests. The future VBMR will retain the BMX01's general architecture. Its configuration will be adapted to the versions finally selected by the French Army which will specifically include a VTT Felin version. The RTD VAB was available in 43 versions.

It has six wheels and an engine, how can it be a BMX? My thought exactly. I actually think it's a case of the nanny state going too far. Before you just had 2 wheels and if you weren't totally stupid, a helmet. But then given amount of knee scrapes from stupid stunts on BMXs, they've now designed a 6 wheeled, armoured version of it. And so kids don't tear ligaments from pedalling and cause they're too fat, it now comes with combustion engine. Oh and it's got a 0.50 cal in case the big kids try to steal your lunch money. Lame!
:P
