The vehicles in our long-term fleet stay with us for six months to a year and are evaluated in real-world situations, such as day-to-day living, long road trips, and seasonal weather conditions.

Nine vehicles were evaluated in the Analysis of Alternatives (AOA).

Most vehicles are evaluated over a two-week period; some are evaluated for six to 12 months.

Other vehicles that would be used by law enforcement - one pickup, four S.U.V.'s, and one wagon - were evaluated, too, but were exempted from grueling vehicle dynamics tests because they are seldom used in high-speed pursuit or emergencies.

A single vehicle was evaluated by the US Army in 1973.

Captured vehicles were evaluated and recently used to develop a modernization package for the BMP-1 which included the IST Dynamics Unmanned Multi-Weapon Platform (See the 'South Africa' section in the BMP-1 variants article for details).

A market survey was conducted in which various armored vehicles including the Warrior Tracked Armoured Vehicle, the M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and the Schützenpanzer Marder were evaluated.

Although a prototype designated AMX-30H was finished in 1968, it was not until 1971 that the vehicle was evaluated.

Five vehicles of a pre-series were completed by 1977 and then evaluated, prompting the order of 183 vehicles that same year.
