"CV90 is already in service in seven countries and now, with this refurbishment programme, we’ll further extend the CV90’s contribution to Sweden’s defence."

The enhanced, multi-role CV90 vehicles will provide enhanced protection, survivability, situational awareness, intelligence and interoperability for battlefield and conflict scenarios.

The Swedish Army currently operates a fleet of 509 CV90s.

In addition to Sweden, the vehicles have also been used by Norway, Denmark and Finland, as well as Switzerland and the Netherlands.
