Puma IFV

Rheinmetall Landsysteme and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann will be building about 1000 new Puma IFVs which will replace 2000 Marder 1 MICVs in the German army.

The Marder 2 vehicles, which were to succeed the Marder 1s, were cancelled some years ago due to a lack of budget.

Technical data:
maximum design weight: 43 tons
weight (Protection Level A): 31.45 tons
weight (Protection Level C): 40.7 tons
crew: 9 (6+3);
maximum road speed: 70 kilometres per hour
power to weight ratio: 20 kW/t;
length: 7,330 mm
width: 3,430 mm
total height: 3,050 mm

This seems like a very conventional vehicle. Nothing revolutionary about it. Armament fit, protection levels, troop capacity, etc.
