Patria 6×6: A Versatile Armoured Vehicle
One of Patria’s key offerings at the event is the Patria 6×6 vehicle, a modular and high-performance armoured vehicle designed for extreme conditions. Known for its simplicity, robustness, and affordability, the Patria 6×6 provides advanced protection and high mobility, making it suitable for a range of missions. Its modular design allows for configurations including Armoured Personnel Carrier, Company Command vehicle, Medical Evacuation vehicle, Heavy APC, and integration with the 120 mm Patria Nemo mortar system.
The Patria 6×6 serves as the platform for the CAVS programme, which currently includes Finland, Latvia, Sweden, and Germany. Deliveries of the Patria 6×6 are ongoing in Latvia, Finland, and Sweden, with the vehicles already in operational use. Patria has received orders for nearly 700 units, with approximately 200 delivered so far. The CAVS programme remains open for other European countries to join.
FAMOUS Concept Vehicle: A New Standard in Mobility
Patria is also presenting its FAMOUS concept vehicle at NDIS 2024, a tracked vehicle developed under the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) and the European Defence Fund’s FAMOUS 2 cooperative initiative. First introduced at Eurosatory, this tracked vehicle offers exceptional tactical and operational mobility in challenging conditions, including harsh weather, soft soil, and extreme terrain.
The FAMOUS concept represents a modern, cost-effective alternative to traditional articulated and light tracked vehicles, positioning itself as a significant advancement in armoured vehicle technology.
