Of those, 108 TAPVs are in the process of being allocated to the respective training centers of each Canadian Army Division, according to the Canadian Army. “Each Canadian Division Training Centre (CDTC) will be issued 27 TAPVs to be used to support the training of the Primary Reserves,” Maja Graham, Senior Communications Advisor, Directorate Army Public Affairs, told Defence Watch.

The TAPV is a 4×4 wheeled armoured vehicle specifically engineered and designed to provide survivability, mobility and versatility over the full spectrum of operations, according to Textron.

“The TAPV will partially replace the Coyote Light Armoured Vehicle, completely replace the Armoured Patrol Vehicle RG-31 and complement the Light Utility Vehicle Wheeled,” the army stated.
