Patria delivered first 6x6 vehicles to Denmark within the CAVS programme

Patria has delivered the first Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) 6x6 armoured vehicles based on Patria 6x6 to Denmark and kicked off the related training programme. Denmark completed the final steps in the multinational CAVS programme in July this year and similarly ordered 129 vehicles. The vehicles will be manufactured in Finland and further vehicle deliveries will continue to take place during 2025.

 “Patria and the CAVS programme have yet again proven the huge benefits of this multinational initiative. The excellent cooperation between the member nations and Patria enabled the very quick first delivery, only two months from the initial order. This is an undeniable proof of the efficiency for utilization of common vehicle platform between allies,” says Mats Warstedt, Vice President, Nordics of Patria.

Patria, that has more than four decades of experience in developing and delivering state-of-the-art protected troop transportation and system integration, leads the 6x6 armoured vehicle system development as the prime contractor within the CAVS programme. The vast majority of supply of the vehicles is conducted by utilizing the member nations’ local industry capabilities and every new nation is inherently reinforcing the security of supply for the whole collaboration system. Patria has already received orders for nearly 1,000 Patria 6x6 vehicles and has delivered more than 250 through the programme. The CAVS programme is open to countries with similar equipment requirements, by mutual consent of the participating countries.
