The Fiat Type 6614 is a 4x4 wheeled armoured personnel carrier developed as a joint venture between Fiat and Oto Melara of Italy. The hull is welded steel, and the vehicle is amphibious.^[1] The first prototype was built in 1972.

KM900

The KM900 was a version of the Fiat 6614 produced under license by Asia Motors for use by the Republic of Korea Army. It is expected that the KM900s will be phased out with the introduction of the KNAV.

Type 6616

The Type 6616 was a version of the Type 6614 that incorporated a turret armed with a 20mm autocannon. The turret was designed, built, and installed by Oto Melara.^[2]
