Patria and KNDS Deutschland Maintenance (KNDS) have today signed a framework agreement covering the assembly and final integration of Patria 6×6 armoured personnel carriers within the multinational Common Armoured Vehicles (CAVS) programme. Patria is in full speed building the German industrial capacity for CAVS programme with KNDS and other German industrial partners. Technology transfer is a central part of Patria’s business model, in which armoured vehicle manufacturing expertise is transferred to local partners. Launched in 2020 through cooperation between Finland and Latvia, the CAVS programme aims to deliver a joint, modern 6×6 armoured vehicle system based on Patria 6×6 vehicle. The CAVS programme remains open to European and NATO nations with comparable 6×6 armoured vehicle requirements.
