The Terrain Vehicle m\/42 (Terr\u00e4ngbil m\/42) was developed during World War II as an early Swedish infantry combat vehicle. \n
In popular parlance, it was called the \"KP car\" or, due to its boxy appearance, the \"Coffin\".\n
 I grunden \u00e4r det en terr\u00e4ngg\u00e5ende flakbil, med fyrhjulsdrift och f\u00f6rsedd med en pansarkropp runt hela fordonet. Den gjordes f\u00f6r att frakta soldater b\u00e5de in och ut ur strid, och kunde \u00e4ven anv\u00e4ndas som en skyddad skjutst\u00e4llning\n under strid. Fr\u00e5n b\u00f6rjan fanns inte tak, d\u00e5 passagerarna skulle kunna skjuta under f\u00e4rd i skydd av pansarsargen runt flaket.<\/p>\n

Fordonstypen var i drift \u00e4nda till 2004, givetvis med utvecklingar av den ursprungliga modellen. Museets exemplar \u00e4r i grunden \u00e5rsmodell 1942, och registrerades 1945. 1956 modifierades fordonet och utrustades f\u00f6r luftv\u00e4rnsmaskingev\u00e4r\n p\u00e5 kabinen. I mitten av 80talet gjordes fler f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttringar, d\u00e5 de bland annat fick pansartak, och b\u00e4ttre skydd mot splitter. Bakpartiet kortades av, det kom till en d\u00f6rr f\u00f6r avsittning\/lastning, och antalet passagerare minskade fr\u00e5n\n 16 till 7.<\/p>\n

During the 1960s Congo Crisis, the peacekeeping forces from the UN used the Terrain vehicle m\/42. Their vehicles were painted white and marked with \"UN.\"<\/p>\n

SKPF stands for Scania Karosseri Pansar (SKP), and that in 1956, the vehicle was modified with an anti-aircraft machine gun m\/36 (F stands for Fordonsluftv\u00e4rn, or vehicle anti-aircraft). \n
The \"D\" designation marks the purpose for which the vehicle was modernized and modified in the 1980s. The D-variant was built for combat and troop transport.<\/p>\n

Kalixlinjen Museum has two examples of this vehicle.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
