After the failure of AMX-32 project, GIAT decided to produce a new upgrade, named AMX-40 Main Battle Tank. The development began in 1980 as a clean sheet design. In 1983, the first prototype was finished and two further prototypes were produced in 1984; the fourth and last one was fabricated in 1985.
However, the efforts to obtain foreign orders failed, the most serious potential customer to have considered the design being Spain. It ceased being offered for export in 1990, when the end of the Cold War brought lots of surplus MBTs on the market.
Dopo il fallimento del progetto AMX-32, GIAT ha deciso di produrre un nuovo aggiornamento, denominato AMX-40 Main Battle Tank. Lo sviluppo è iniziato nel 1980 come un progetto pulito. Nel 1983 fu terminato il primo prototipo e nel 1984 furono prodotti altri due prototipi; il quarto e ultimo è stato fabbricato nel 1985.
Tuttavia, gli sforzi per ottenere ordini esteri fallirono, il potenziale cliente più serio ad aver considerato il design era la Spagna. Ha cessato di essere offerto per l’esportazione nel 1990, quando la fine della Guerra Fredda ha portato sul mercato molti MBT in eccedenza.
