==History== In 1973, the Royal Netherlands Army started a project to look for a new infantry fighting vehicle to replace the AMX-VCI. During the course of this project, several countries made proposals to sell their infantry fighting vehicles to the Netherlands. In 1974, the Royal Netherlands Army started to show interest in the improved M113, later named Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV), which was developed by the FMC Corporation. After performing tests with the vehicle in that same year and making several adjustments to the design to meet the Royal Netherlands Army requirements, the Dutch Ministry of Defence placed an order in 1975 for 889 YPR-765s at a cost of around 700 million Dutch guilders. The order included twelve different variants of the vehicle, such as an armored medical evacuation vehicle and an armored personnel carrier.
