“We are looking forward to further strengthening the cooperation with Allison, after many years of close and valuable cooperation. With this we further secure the CV90’s position in the growing global market and can offer current and future customers a reliable, modern and proven driveline,” said Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, Managing Director, BAE Systems Hägglunds.
The 4040 MX will equip ongoing CV90 programs including the CV90Mk IV IFV. The agreement also assures long term support to the existing Allison X300-equipped CV90 fleet. Nearly 1,000 CV90s are currently operated by Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland. BAE Systems Hägglunds and the CV90 recently won important IFV contracts in Slovakia and Czech Republic for approximately 400 new vehicles.
Designed and manufactured in Sweden, the CV90 IFV is widely renowned for its crew and passenger protection. With a capacity to accommodate a crew of three and up to eight soldiers, the CV90 offers unparalleled protection not available in any other IFV.
