The Dutch Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) has taken delivery of the Netherlands’ armed forces first LEGUAN bridgelayers from Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), according to a statement released by the company on 12 December.
Opting for a bilateral procurement arrangement with Germany in 2016, the Netherlands ordered a total of eight LEGUAN Close Support Bridge (CSB) bridge-laying vehicles, based on the LEOPARD 2 chassis, together with appropriate support and training simulators. The first two vehicles have now been handed over, with final deliveries scheduled for 2021.
