Iveco will supply the Swedish Armed Forces with multi-purpose vehicles

* A ready made "battle van"??? This thing would sell like hotcakes in the southern US!  I've seen so many 4x4 vans that are conversions that it makes me wonder why no manufacturer has tried to corner the market.

On June 16, Iveco Defense Vehicles (IDV) announced that it had signed a framework contract with the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (Försvarets materielverk, FMV) for the supply of up to 3,000 light vehicles for the Swedish Armed Forces. The first order will cover 400 cars.

The contract concluded by IDV is a framework agreement (FWA) for the supply of up to 3,000 light multi-purpose LMPV (Light Multi Purpose Vehicles) MUV 4×4 (Military Utility Vehicle) vehicles. The agreement is to run from 2023 to 2027, with an option to extend it for another five years. The MUV 4×4, selected as a model deemed to meet LMPV requirements, is available in 12 different variants, including: troop transport, medical, communications, logistics and dog transport. The car is structurally based on the militarized modular family of Iveco Daily 4x4 cars with several variants differing in the permissible total weight, chassis, cabin, engine and transmission system.
