American AM General participated in a delivery ceremony on April 2021 for three Bastion armored personnel carriers (APC) to the Kosovo Ministry of Interior for use with their police special forces. The ceremony also marked the first completed order stemming out of a partnership agreement with Arquus, a global French defense manufacturer of military mobility solutions.
Developed by Arquus, the Bastion is a 4×4, 12-ton personnel carrier that combines tactical performance, robust capability, high internal space and payload and simplified maintenance. It features an armored hull that provides protection against ballistic threats, mines, and IEDs. AM General recognized the strategic value that a vehicle like Bastion can have on the region and facilitated the sale of the vehicle to the Kosovo Ministry of Interior. Having strong relationships in the region through the sale of its own battle-proven vehicles, the partnership with Arquus has given AM General’s global customers access to an even wider range of defense products.
