The Dingo 1 was first fielded in 2000 and subsequently deployed in peacekeeping missions by the German Army. Dingo 2 is an improved variant of Dingo 1 featuring many upgrades compared with its predecessor and essentially increased crew protection. The first Dingo 2 vehicle was handed over to the Austrian Army on 9 May 2005. The German Army took delivery of its first Dingo 2 on 17 November 2005.

In addition to Dingo 1 and Dingo 2, the German Defense Procurement Agency (BWB) signed a contract with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann for a new Dingo variant demonstrator to serve as protected command and mission carrier vehicle in late 2005. The new Dingo would provide seating capacity for a crew of nine-man utilizing an extended group compartment to be tested with mission-specific equipment beginning in early 2006. Focusing on modularity and maximum protection the new vehicle, called Dingo 2 GFF, eventually would convert into the replacement for German Army's M113 armored personnel carriers with a potential requirement for 1,000 to 1,500 vehicles.

So far, Germany has ordered 155 Dingo 1 vehicles with deliveries started in 2000 plus an order covering 55 Dingo 2 all-protected vehicles. Austria ordered 20 Dingo 2 vehicles intended for ambulance and NBC reconnaissance missions. Belgium is the largest Dingo 2 operator so far with 220 Dingo 2 plus 132 additional vehicles on order. Belgium Dingo 2 were expected to serve as a mobile command post, ambulance and radar command and control vehicle. On 28 June 2006, the German Parliament gave the Bundeswehr the go ahead for a further procurement of 149 Dingo 2 all-protected vehicles under a 109 million Euro contract.

The new Dingo variant combines high performance capability with speed having a hydraulic 10-ton recovery winch for towing operations. The new vehicle weighs 17.5 tons and can therefore be transported by air without problems. Like all of the DINGO 2 vehicles that are already in the field, the 3-man crew can rely on the high level of protection that is provided and also keep a close eye on the situation using the extended rear-view camera system. For self-defense purposes, the Dingo 2 Recovery Vehicle can be equipped with the FLW 100 remote-controlled light weapon station.
