| Building on the experience gained in the Alacran project, the Cardoen company commenced the assembly, under license, of the Swiss Mowag Piranha 6x6 APC in the early
1980s. Simultaneously Cardoen Industries also developed the VTP-1 Orca 6x6 APC/armored load carrier, the world's largest vehicle of its kind, capable of carrying sixteen men
with their equipment.
The Chilean Army eventually ordered 100 Orcas.
