Finnish Patria, producer of a wide range of defence, aviation and aerospace technology, has been awarded a prestigious contract with the Swedish army including 113 Patria AMV (Armoured Modular Vehicle) and system equipment, the Swedish Defense Material Administration, FMV, said on Friday. The value of the order is €240 million.

The decision is a blow to Swedish defense company Hägglunds, a part of BAE Systems, that failed to convince the military agency about the excellence of their combat vehicle Sep.

“After a comprehensive evaluation of test results, performance, economy etc, we are convinced that we have reached the best decision based on the operational requirements the Swedish Armed Forces has set”, said Peter Elmlund, project manager for the contract at the Swedish Defense Material Administration.

The Patria AMV is described as modern fortified eight wheeled vehicle with high levels of protection, mobility and accessibility. Approximately 1,200 vehicles have been ordered by other customers and its currently used operationally in Finland, Poland, Slovenia and Croatia, for example in operations in Afghanistan.
