[2] The vehicle has a four-wheel drive and is powered by the Deutz type F 6L 413 F six-cylinder diesel engine developing 150 hp (110 kW) at 2650 rpm.

It was most commonly used by territorial defence units, in several variants equipped with machine guns, water cannons, smoke and tear gas dispensers for crowd control and riots.

BOVs have also been massively used during the Kosovo conflict by the Army of Yugoslavia and the MUP of Serbia.

BOVs are also used by special forces of the MUP Serbia, Republika Srpska, Croatia and BiH Federation.

Second generation BOV is currently in development with serial production planned for second half of 2018.

New generation BOV vehicle has a new four-wheel drive and is powered by the Cummins diesel engine.

It has weight about 11 tons, new transmission, new communications devices and protects crew against 12.7mm caliber guns and all anti-armor land mines.

Scout versions have mast with high-resolution day and night cameras, data link to transmit all information in real time to command center.

Command versions have additional internal posts with displays for viewing tactical situation.

Unlike its previous basic version BOV-M86 (BOV-VP) which was designed and constructed in the time of the former Yugoslavia, they were removed and through deep modernization almost all segments and characteristics of the vehicle were raised to a higher level, the main shortcoming of the BOV-M86 was armored protection that proved weak during the wars in the former Yugoslavia.

The fire control system consists of the main elements such as: High magnification TV cameras.

This armored vehicle was produced in the factory "Složeni Borbeni Sistemi", Velika Plana, Serbia.

The fire control system consists of the main elements such as: High magnification TV cameras.

The driver is equipped with TV cameras as well as television front and rear, which allows him to drive undisturbed due to reduced visibility.

The vehicle is equipped with sound and light signaling systems, air conditioning, radio connection, computer for command and information software.

The basis of the BOV KIV vehicle is characterized by a high degree of ballistic protection, obtained by installing a new generation of modular armor.

Since the crew in KIV is exposed to long-term work, the improvement of the platform also provides an air conditioning and heating system, which enables the crew to work smoothly in conditions of high and low temperatures.

Television cameras project the image in the eyepieces and with their setting enable a 3D presentation, that is, the driver gets an idea of the depth of the scene.

It is a vehicle created by extensive refinement of the armored transporter BOV, and the works are carried out at the FAP Factory.
