Sweden has officially announced its desire to join the Finnish-led Common Armored Vehicle System (CAVS) program, which is also open to other countries with the mutual consent of the participating countries.

The program began in 2019 as a multinational cooperation between Finland, Latvia and Estonia. The program progressed to the research and product development phase with Latvia in autumn 2020. Latvia ordered the first more than 200 personnel carrier armored vehicles in August 2021, of which Patria delivered the first vehicles to Latvia at the end of October. In turn, the Finnish Ministry of Defense and Patria have signed a letter of intent on ordering 160 new personnel carrier vehicles for Finland in 2023.

“This milestone is significant for the whole program,” said Jussi Järvinen, President of Patria’s Land Business Unit. “Extensive cooperation and network between countries will improve the mobility, cost-effectiveness, cooperation capabilities and maintenance capacity of the participating countries. In addition, the result of this program is a very cost-effective solution for participating countries.”
