The AML 90 shares many componments
with the Panhard M3 (4x4) APC and total production of these vehicles,
including those made under licence in South Africa (Where it is known
as the Eland), is over 6000.
The vehicle has no NBC (Nuclear,
Biological and Chemical) system, but optional equipment includes various
night vision devices, a laser range-finder for the 90mm gun, an air conditioning
system and amphibious kit. Late production vehicles also have a more fuel
efficient Diesel Engine.
