The record

The ALTV (Acmat Light Tactical Vehicle, in French the AVTL) came in 2008–09 as the first military pick-up made in France. From 2009 to 2014 a thousand were built for twenty countries — Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad (20), Congo (14), Côte d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea (48), Gabon, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger and Togo (44) among them. Production ran until 2019; the Trigger, on the VT4, succeeded it.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
