Flashback

The Bandvagn 202 (Bv 202) is a Swedish all-terrain vehicle developed by Hägglunds in the 1960s to operate in the harsh conditions of northern Europe. It consists of two articulated sections, providing high cross-country ability and manoeuvrability in rough terrain, snow and bogs. The all-terrain vehicle is equipped with a petrol engine. It ensures operation at low temperatures. The Bv 202 can carry up to 10 people or up to 1 tonne of cargo, making it ideal for military and rescue operations. It has been used by the Swedish army and has also been exported to several countries.
