First production vehicles were scheduled to be delivered in 2014, however deliveries were set back to begin in 2016 and will be completed in around 2018.

The TAPV and LAV VI family of armoured vehicles were featured in the media video coverage.

[2][3] The TAPV relies upon composite armour to provide the maximum protection to the vehicles occupants.

The TAPV also has a V-shaped hull, which provides protection against mine and improvised explosive device (IED) blasts.

[3] It can withstand up to 10 kg of explosive force directly under its hull, and can resist even 12.7 mm armour-piercing rounds.

[2] The TAPV can handle water (fording) depth up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) but is not built as a fully amphibious vehicle.
