		While the BAE Systems Land Systems Warrior infantry fighting vehicle has replaced the FV432 used by the British Army in the troop carrying role, large numbers of FV432 series remain in service for specialised roles such as ambulance, command post, mortar carrier and support vehicle.
		It was expected that the out of service date of the FV432 of the British Army would be about 2014, but this has now been extended to beyond 2020, by which time this vehicle will be more than 50 years old.
		From most of the pictures I've seen of the FV432 types, they are not incorporating external fuel tanks like we see on the later models of M113 (it reduces internal fire hazard).

		Last night, a spokesman for the MoD said that National Audit Office figures show that the FV432 vehicles were the second most reliable vehicle in the entire fleet.
		However, the MoD’s own report into the conflict noted that there had been a problem with maintaining sufficient numbers of serviceable vehicles and that it had become normal practice to "cannibalise" some vehicles for spare parts to keep others running.

	REME FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier
		In the 1950s, when it was decided that all infantry in Europe should fight from APCs, and that these APCs be tracked to keep up with tanks, a new vehicle, the FV432, was developed.
		Its ancestry could be traced back to the small tracked ‘Bren gun carriers' of World War 2, but the FV432 was front engined with a rear door and all over roof.
		The design was similar to earlier US vehicles, but developed in Britain as a family of vehicles, the APC being but one variant.
