Destined for Vetronics Development and Demonstration Duties

Pursuant to a contract signed in June, Patria has delivered an AMV 8×8 system platform vehicle to Saab, to be used for test and development of the Swedish company’s latest generation of vehicle electronics as well as for demonstration and marketing.

Saab will equip the vehicle with its latest video- and vehicle electronic solutions and innovations. The vehicle combines the knowledge and experience of two high-tech companies: Patria delivering the performance and features of a multi-role armoured wheeled vehicle with high mobility, survivability and fire power; Saab offering durable military electronics that meet severe battlefield requirements. Combined, these state-of-the-art features provide unique added value to a modern 8×8 vehicle market.

“We are now eager to start using this state-of-the-art vehicle as a test and development platform, as well as a demonstrator for marketing purposes showcasing our capabilities. We also look forward to continue the close cooperation with Patria,” commented Jörgen Sedsten, CEO of Saab Tactical Electronics.

“We are looking forward to seeing the System Platform Vehicle when Saab has performed its system integrations and to start the joint marketing operations of this high technology product. Patria’s AMV 8×8 with modern communication and control systems is an excellent solution for protected, mobile command posts and headquarters for various type of operations,” added Petri Jokinen, VP Sales and Business Development for Patria’s Land business unit.

Over 1,600 Patria AMV vehicles have been sold to eight nations. It provides the performance and features of a multi-role vehicle and is perfect for any operation in any environment where mobility, survivability and fire power are needed. Patria offers a wide range of variants to meet the gamut of operational requirements, from hot deserts to arctic conditions.
