Developed in Sweden by Hägglund & Söner (today BAE Systems Hägglunds), the BV 206 entered production in 1980 and has since served with dozens of countries. Its twin-unit, four-track design spreads weight for ultra-low ground pressure, enabling real mobility in Arctic and swampy environments. The platform is fully amphibious, using its tracks to propel through water.
Why it became a legendAll-terrain mobility: The BV 206 “floats” over soft ground that bogs down trucks, thanks to wide rubber tracks and articulated steering.
Capacity & flexibility: Configurable for troop transport, cargo, medevac, or command roles, with room for up to 17 personnel (6 in the front car, 11 in the rear).
Amphibious operations: Cross lakes and marshes without special prep, ideal for northern climates and disaster response.
Proven worldwide: With over 11,000 produced, the BV 206 has seen service from Scandinavia to North America and beyond. In the U.S., it’s known as the SUSV (Small Unit Support Vehicle) with variants like M973 (cargo), M1065 (TOC), M1066 (ambulance), and M1067 (flatbed).
The Bv 206 is in service with the armed forces of France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden and Singapore. The vehicle can carry the driver and 17 combat equipped troops — six in the front compartment and eleven in the rear. The Bv 206 can be under slung and air lifted by Boeing CH-47 Chinook and Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters or carried in the C130 Hercules airplane.
Variants:Bv 206AThe Bv 206A is an ambulance version, which is capable of carrying stretchers in the rear compartment.
Bv 206FThe Bv 206F is a fire appliance variant.
RaBv 2061The RaBv 2061 (RadioBandvagn 2061) is a Swedish Army communications/command version, fitted with radio equipment and workplaces for staff members.
PvBv 2062The PvBv 2062 (PansarvärnsBandvagn 2062) is a Swedish Army anti-tank vehicle, an open top version of the Bv 206 armed with a 90 mm Pvpj 1110 recoilless anti-tank gun.
PvBv 2063The PvBv 2063 (PansarvärnsBandvagn 2063) is another Swedish Army anti-tank vehicle, similar to the PvBv 2062, but fitted with the launch system for an ATGM, either the TOW (Rbs 55) or the Bofors BILL (Rbs 56).
RlBv 2068Signalist version of the Bv 206 with radio relay capability. The vehicle is outfitted with mission specific equipment that allows it to fill different functions in the Swedish military telecommunications network Telenät 2000. It was used on the brigade and divisional echelons of the Swedish Army.
Bv 206SThe Bv 206S is an armoured personnel carrier variant of the bv 206, which provides protection from small arms fire for the occupants. It is in service with the armed forces of France, Germany (379 bv 206D/S ordered), Spain, Netherlands, Italy (158 units), Sweden (93 units), Greece (Bv 208) and Singapore (300 units), which has replaced it with the Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier.Using a Steyr M1-Monoblock engine (6-cylinder, 130 kW),[3] the vehicle can carry the driver and 12 combat-equipped troops - four in the front compartment and eight in the rear. The bv 206S can be underslung and airlifted by Boeing CH-47 Chinook and Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters or carried in the C-130 Hercules airplane, amongst others.
Canadian troops taking part in Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan made good use of this vehicle, riding over rough mountainous terrain with full combat gear, allowing the men to avoid the exhaustion they would have felt moving on foot at such high altitudes and in such conditions.
The UK is looking to replace its bv 206Ds by 2020.

BvS 10See main article: BvS 10.
The BvS 10, not to be confused with the bv 206 or bv 206S, is a much larger but still fully amphibious armoured vehicle based upon the characteristic twin-cab, articulated steering system typical of Hägglunds all-terrain vehicles. It is equipped with a 6-cylinder Steyr M1 engine with 200 kW.[7] It was originally designed for the British Royal Marines Commandos and named All Terrain Vehicle (Protected) - ATV(P) VIKING.
It is in service with the Royal Marines Armoured Support Group and the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps. The French Army have recently ordered 130 Bvs10s. The Austrian Armed Forces 32 BvS10AUT represents the most modern variant with full vehicle and crew protection and a 12.7 mm remote-controlled weapon station. It is also planned for the Italian Army.
