The Petit Véhicule Protégé[2] ("Light Protected vehicle", also Panhard PVP)[2] is a light, general-purpose armoured 4-wheel drive vehicle used by the French Army, made by Panhard.

It is expected that the French DGA will order an additional 300 PVP vehicles.

The 2009-14 military budget originally called for a total of 1500 PVPs, but this was reduced to 1233 in 2010 and 1133 in 2012.

[1] The PVP is modular, allowing extra seats to be added for more personnel, or to be used as a light truck.

The armour, made of steel and aluminium, offers level 2 protection (STANAG 4569) for the crew and the engine.
