Serial production of the armored vehicle began in 2001, in 2003 the first armored vehicle was adopted by the Dutch army, and in 2006 Fennek entered the Bundeswehr.

The armored vehicles were tested in Afghanistan, where they were used by both German and Dutch units. The following armament is installed on the armored car: 1 Browning M2 12.7 mm machine gun in the Dutch army version and 7.62 mm Rheinmetall MG-3 machine gun in the German army.

Also, a 40 mm HK GMG automatic grenade launcher can be installed on the armored vehicle. In addition, the armored car is equipped with an optoelectronic surveillance system and an Aladin unmanned aerial vehicle.
