2009 年 5 月19, by the China Science and Technology Association and co-sponsored by Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau of the Third China (Beijing) International Police Equipment and Anti Terrorism Technology and Equipment Exhibition Exhibition opened in Beijing, China, in a series of powerful police equipment public appearance. By the China North Industries Group, China North Vehicle Research Institute developed VN3 type 4 × 4 wheeled light armored vehicles invited to participate in the exhibition, a display that is as special vehicles by the Hall “star exhibits”, not only to attract a large number of visitors eyes, by both domestic and international media attention.

VN3 wheeled armored vehicle is an all-wheel drive, high mobility and assault capability, small size, light weight, combat ability, suitable for air-ground delivery and good mobility advanced light armored combat vehicles, major equipment, rapid reaction force, the Army Emergency mobile combat forces, international peacekeeping forces, armed police and security forces, perform battlefield reconnaissance, fire raid, contact the communications, rapid deployment and emergency mobile operations and other tasks, are widely used in various intensity levels of war and military operations other than war, according to user needs deformation of armored personnel carriers and armored command vehicle series models, has good scalability.

VN3 wheeled armored vehicles in the development process, are fully aware of the technological innovation of the enormous impact product quality, through the application of new methods of modern vehicle design, full optimization of the powertrain, matching suspension solutions, the combat weight nearly 600 tons of armored vehicles with a 110km/h top speed, and in the highlands, desert, snow and other complex terrain under the weather through the ability to fully meet the rapid movement, rapid deployment requirements; while intelligent Central Tire Deflation System (CTIS), hydraulic power steering control device, dual-line hydraulic disc brakes and other braking system and a large number of advanced performance, high reliability components integrated on the train, a major increase in the overall performance of the vehicle, and accordingly reduce the use of whole life cost of the vehicle; configuration and in the fire protection levels, VN3 wheeled armored vehicle with 14.5mm machine guns QJG91 type, 7.62mm machine guns and six 81mm parallel smoke launchers, constitute the long-distance, medium distance and close range firepower one, the installation of simple fire control system, will form a great deterrent against the enemy’s firepower. VN3 Wheeled armored vehicles and body armor gun towers are used in Sweden all-welded steel, fully enclosed structure, protective properties, mechanical properties, excellent welding performance with the entire vehicle against 7.62mm rifle rounds and artillery fragments ability battlefield survivability strong; car is also equipped with GPS satellite positioning system, a small digital radio and other digital communication devices, to achieve a complex electromagnetic environment of the vehicle location, inter-vehicle/vehicle communication and vehicle command system data exchange and sharing.

with similar foreign products, VN3 type 4 × 4 wheeled light armored vehicles in the mobility, firepower, force protection, and other aspects of information technology to meet or exceed the advanced level, and has a compact structure, arrangement is reasonable, reliable performance, maintenance and support is better, cost-effective, convenient service and other security features, anti-riot against terrorism, peace sharp equipment.
