History

The Masstech T4 was designed in 2016 based on a call for tenders from the French Army,[1] under the VLTP NP (Véhicule Léger Tactiques Polyvalents Non Protégés or Lightweight Multipurpose Tactical Vehicles Not Protected)[2]

Faced with replacing the Peugeot P4 and while waiting for the ACMAT VT4,[3] the French army ordered 500 units, with the first one delivered in April 2017 and the last in November 2018.[4][5]

In mid-November 2022, France donate 100 T4s to Tunisia through the Directorate of Security and Defence Cooperation.[6] In December 2022, a new contract for 128 units for the G5 Sahel Joint Force was announced.[7]
