With its ability to rapidly cross terrain that would hinder other vehicles, the BvS10 delivers the crucial advantage in any theatre of operation. Currently being manufactured in its third generation, internally MkIIb, the vehicle impressively shows its strengths resulting from 40 years of experience in the development and production of all-terrain-vehicles. Pairing an extremely high mobility with a payload of up to 7 tons while offering an excellent range capability, the BvS10 is one of the best vehicles in its class.
With a modular add-on armor system the vehicle is also protecting the crew and passengers from mine blasts, IEDs, small fire arms and artillery attacks.
In order to meet the high tactical requirements the BvS10, compared to its predecessors, is designed with a spacious cabin volume that can be adapted to the specific mission requirements via the implemented C-rail system. This enables the user to be highly flexible in any tactical manoeuvre – and results in a broad variety of variants that is typical for the Bandvagn-series.
And having performed in large number of demanding operations all over the globe the BvS10 underpins: It is the vehicle that never stops.

BEOWULF
BEOWULF [ˈbāəˌwo͝olf]
Old English legend telling the story of the Scandinavian hero Beowulf. According to the legend, he would travel immense distances to prove his worth against nemeses.
After 40 years and more than 12 000 produced units, it is time to close the circle that began with the production of the first Bv206 and continue the track record – with the BvS10 BEOWULF. In its unprotected, basic variant the vehicle constitutes a platform that combines the best from its ancestors Bv206 and Bv206 S as well as from the BvS10, making it the ideal basis for operating in fire and rescue, disaster relief or even military services.
At the same time, not a single detail is a coincidence but the smart solution resulting from 40 years of experience in the development of all-terrain-vehicles.
Based on the drivetrain of the protected BvS10 the BEOWULF offers an unrivaled payload reserve of up to 8 tons which can be used efficiently and flexibly with mission modules, such as rescue kit, fire extinguishing media or ambulance cabin. The ergonomically designed vehicle interior offers a spacious cabin that can accommodate personnel from 5th to 95th percentile.
Equipped with a powerful drive train the vehicle always has a sufficient performance reserve to traverse any rough terrain that any other vehicle cannot – up to a range of 1 000 km. This makes the BvS10 BEOWULF the ATV that redefines the boundaries of mobility.

We are in the middle of the 1990s and turbulence is constantly growing in the world. Many trouble spots around the globe make the focus of military vehicle development shift towards one important point that is not covered by the Bv206: the protection of the crew. This marks the beginning of the Bv206 S.
Designed with a low silhouette (for the air-transportability) and an armored outer shell it offers the same performance as its unprotected predecessor. Even despite the increased gross vehicle weight it is fully amphibious.
Successfully introduced in the armies of Sweden, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, the Bv206 S finds its use in various variants. While Bundeswehr is using the 189 vehicles as troop carrier, ambulance and command and control vehicles while France for example also implemented logistic vehicles with a load change module on the rear car.
No matter what variant, the Bv206 S has an armored body which is prepared for the installation of add-on armor and mine protection, as well as implementation of weapons for self-defense. A real all-rounder!

The Bv206 is the corner stone of a track record and trailblazer for a sophisticated technology which still today, in a further developed form, finds its use in the present vehicle series. Often also called Bv206 D, it all started with a petrol engine but indeed most of the produced vehicles were delivered with a Diesel engine.
Originally, the vehicle with a light GRP-body was developed for the military use but soon also non-military customers took a great interest it. Fire fighting departments, rescue services, coastal protection, energy suppliers and many others – all of them were convinced of the highly mobile concept and over 50 different variants, partly custom-tailored, came into production.
In the early 2000s the production of the Bv206 was stopped after delivering approximately 11 000 vehicles – truly a milestone in a track record that today is being pursued with the development and production of the Bv206 S and its “bigger brother” BvS10. Still, the interest in the so called “plastic Bandvagn” is unbroken on the pre-owned market and many vehicles are modernized with up-to-date power packs or other components and brought back into terrain.
And so it might be that the warden of the alpine hut you are staying picks you up in a Bandvagn – because where roads end…
