The Danish public procurement agency (DALO) has awarded KNDS Deutschland (KNDS) a contract for the supply of three latest generation LEGUAN mobile bridges to be mounted on a 10×10 TATRA chassis.
In addition to the TATRA chassis, converted by KNDS for the assembly of LEGUAN bridges, the contract also encompasses a logistics package and specialized tools.
The order volume amounts to approximately 33 million euros.
The successful execution of this order, with the TATRA 10×10 wheeled vehicle chassis, exemplifies the close collaboration between KNDS Deutschland and Czech company TATRA DEFENCE VEHICLES.
The contract also includes an option for training equipment and another three bridge-laying wheeled vehicles along with LEGUAN bridge sets worth 25 million euros. A decision regarding this is expected by 2026.
The contract also contains an opening clause allowing other Scandinavian nations to join in.
For Denmark, already operating the LEGUAN on a LEOPARD 2 chassis, this system represents the first wheeled vehicle capable of deploying LEGUAN bridges.
