The second-generation VLRA: a redesigned cab on the same low gooseneck chassis, a 5-litre turbo-diesel of 190 hp with a six-speed ZF manual or five-speed automatic, 110 km/h and 1,400 km, and 8 to 12 tonnes gross in 4×4 form.
Wikipedia dates the VLRA 2 to 2009 and Milinfo the modernisation of the range to 2010: a new cab, new braking with ABS that can be switched off, new steering, a five-speed automatic option and engines built to anything from Euro 2 to Euro 5 — the Euro 2 version kept without electronics for customers who need it. The engine and driveline come from the Renault Trucks Midlum. The range covers troop and cargo carriers, tankers, ambulances, workshops, shelter carriers, command cars, a bus and, in 6×6 form, the 645 STL cargo truck and 645 DTT recovery vehicle. Morocco took 300 between June and October 2021 and put them on the Saharan berm, some carrying ZU-23-2 twin cannon; the Irish Army Ranger Wing runs three VLRA.
