A New Swedish Army Off-Road Vehicle Generation

A new off-road vehicle generation for the Swedish Army has been developed. It is now being produced. The program covers two off-road truck families, one articulated tracked all terrain vehicle and one motorcycle. A procurement method aiming at minimized and controlled life cycle cost has been applied. In this an incentive, which will give the finally proved maintenance quality of the product an impact on the unit price, has been introduced. With the procurement method as a background the four concepts are presented. Finally the results and experiences of the procedure are discussed.
