Patria completes deliveries of Patria AMV XP 8×8 ambulance vehicles to Slovakia

Patria has completed the deliveries of Patria AMV XP 8×8 armoured ambulance vehicles to Slovakia. The final batch was handed over last week in Lieskovec, Slovakia. The ten ambulance vehicles are part of the comprehensive government-to-government (G2G) agreement signed in 2022 by the Government of the Slovak Republic, the Government of Finland and Patria for Slovakia’s acquisition of 76 armoured combat vehicles (ACVs), comprising 60 infantry fighting vehicles, 10 ambulance vehicles and 6 command post vehicles.

“Patria is thankful of excellent cooperation with Slovakia, their BOV 8×8 armoured vehicle programme and local partners. The completion of these ambulance vehicle deliveries is an important milestone in this cooperation. The programme supports the development of modern mobility and defence capabilities while also advancing technology transfer and know-how to Slovakia, strengthening local industrial capability, security of supply and long-term readiness,” says Jussi Järvinen, Executive Vice President of Patria’s Protected Mobility business area.

Technology transfer is a central part of Patria’s business model, in which armoured vehicle manufacturing expertise is transferred to local partners. This improves security of supply, strengthens Slovakia’s own industry, and provides a strategic competitive advantage. Patria AMV XP 8×8 is a market leading, state-of-the-art, modular and robust armoured vehicle providing superior fire power, protection, and mobility.
