BV 206A /t

When the military in the 1970s began to look for a replacement for BV 202/ 203 they had some requests. They wanted a higher payload capacity, better road handling characteristics, greater reliability, and lower maintenance costs. 
Hägglunds (now BAE Systems) made a significant investment and won the contract. 

The museum has two examples, both registered in 1980. 

In addition to being able to navigate through really difficult terrain (see linked video), it is light enough to be transported by cargo helicopter/airplane and can therefore be air-dropped. As if that weren't enough, it is also amphibious and can cross watercourses. 

The BV 206 can transport up to 17 soldiers in full combat gear, and with its lightweight and excellent off-road capabilities, it is well-suited for the forests of Norrland. Its maximum speed on the road is just over 50 km/h, and it consumes 9 liters of fuel per 10 kilometers 
The BV 206 is equipped with drive on all four tracks, enabling it to tackle slopes of 45 degrees on hard terrain and 17 degrees in deep snow. If necessary, it can be fitted with a Kulspruta 58 or Kulspruta 88 machine gun on the roof for enhanced combat capabilities  

The BV 206 was phased out of military service in the early 2000s but continues to play a vital role within the Home Guard. It has also been used for civilian purposes, such as by Svenska kraftnät (Swedish National Grid) and Trafikverket (Swedish Transport Administration).  

Imponerande framkomlighet i mycket besvärlig terräng!
