Description
The Common Tactical Wheeled Vehicle has its roots in an Type16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle.
Six derivatives of the Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle (16MCV) were planned. These were called the Common Tactical Wheeled Vehicle, and included the Infantry Combat Vehicle (ICV), Reconnaissance and Combat Vehicle (RCV), Maneuver Morter Combat Veheicle (MMCV), Maneuver Armored Vehicle (MPV), Medical Evacuation Vehicle (MEV), and Command Vehicle (CV), all but the ICV, RCV and MMCV were discontinued (The MPV,MEV,CV was incorporated into the next armored car project and fought the Patria AMV. And the Patria AMV was adopted.)(MEV and CV were not manufactured)
ICV was named Type24 Wheeled Armored Fighting Vehicle
MMCV was named Type24 Maneuver 120mm Mortar
