The vehicle features improved load capacity and a more powerful diesel engine with a new design for the chassis, power train and steering units enabling the vehicle to attain enhanced performance.
In addition, the vehicle can also complement more effective armour, weapons, load-changer and cargo platforms, and fulfils all the original Viking requirements including the ability to operate in water.
In July 2009, BAE received a £21m ($31.6m) order from the UK MoD for the delivery of 24 Viking mk2 vehicles as an urgent operational requirement for the UK Army.
