BAE Systems Hägglunds, the manufacturer of the CV90 based in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, will collaborate with Ritek to deliver the new vehicles.

The armoured vehicles are slated for delivery in 2023.

BAE Systems Hägglunds managing director Tommy Gustafsson-Rask said: “We have a strong track record of delivering on time, at cost, and high quality to the Norwegian Army. This follow-up order demonstrates the importance of successful relationships with in-country industry partners like Ritek.

“As we work to enhance the Norwegian Army’s existing fleet of CV90s, deepening our existing relationships with local industry will naturally benefit our end users.”

Last month, BAE Systems secured a $500m contract to upgrade the Royal Netherlands Army’s CV90 fleet.
