Feb. 26 (UPI) — BAE Systems has delivered to Austria the first four BvS10 all-terrain vehicles as part of a contract signed in 2016 for 32 armored personnel carriers.
Austria joins Netherlands, Sweden and Britain as operators of the BvS10, a highly maneuverable armored vehicle that can handle challenging terrain to deliver personnel or cargo in combat and disaster relief scenarios. BAE Systems’ Hagglunds has sold more than 12,000 all-terrain vehicles around the world, the company said in a news release Tuesday.
BAE Systems handed over the vehicles during two ceremonies last week in Salzburg, located in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Austrian Defense Minister Mario Kunasek attended the ceremonies, along with representatives of the Swedish government and BAE Systems Hägglunds, the Sweden-based manufacturer of the BvS10.
