Armoured wheeled vehicles are among Patria’s most important export products. Patria AMV has become a popular choice in its most significant market areas and the number of contracted Patria AMV 8x8 exceeds 1,400 vehicles.

Patria AMV is contracted among others by the Finnish, Polish and Swedish Defence Forces, and it has been fielded in ISAF operation since the year 2007. In 2010 Patria won the competitive bidding process organized by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for 113 armoured vehicles.

As an experienced producer of armoured wheeled vehicles, Patria perfects its products combining high payload with the latest technology. These features enable the simultaneous integration of a high level of protection and heavy weapon systems without compromising the mobility of the vehicle.
