Yes, the previous model BV206 was developed and built by Hägglunds in Sweden, but this new model BvS10 (UK)/BV410 (Swe) is a collaboration btw Hägglunds and BEA Systems, something like a half'n'half.
I did my military service 27 years ago in the predecessor of this one. In Sweden. Engineered and built by Sweden. It’s a Swedish invention. And it still is.
The brittish bought a Swedish company that has been around a long time. The manufactoring is still in Sweden. I do not know if the brittis also make models in the UK.
You do know the Viking has a large Kingdom for 400 years what is now the UK right ? Which means many of us inc me has Viking Blood. Look it up it was called the DaneLaw
These are fantastic machines. The old Bv206 was good but this is a whole new ball game. The great thing is that they need no further modification for swimming.

Hägglund developed this vehicle, BAE owns Hägglunds.
Hagglund bandvans have been around for years, the big improvement was to get rid of the five cylinder Mercedes Benz engine and gearbox they used years ago 😊
I drove the BV206 in Norway, cracking bit of kit, ace for a full load and then towing skiers on their NATO planks, only real pain is changing a track in deep snow in minus 25 and then add on the wind chill, fingers don't want to work and can't feel 😂
The armored variant of the vehicle that Austria has ordered is, I can say, not suitable for use in high mountains. The vehicle is underpowered for its heavy weight. In deep and loose snow, you quickly lose your grip, despite specially mounted "ice grippers". There are always problems with the transmission and the brakes when the terrain gets higher. With the electric remote-controlled weapons station for the 50 Browning Machinegun mounted on the roof, which weighs around 200 kilograms, the ability to swim is reduced to such an extent that I wouldn't dare do it. Unless I was suicidal. To be fair, it must be mentioned that the mountain troops in Austria never requested this vehicle variant. And that they were only tested after delivery here in Austria. We had positive experiences with the unarmored previous model. But this was not purchased.
What I'm surprised is the Canadian and US military don't use them especially considering it runs out Cummins diesel with an Allison automatic transmission
Yeah and happens when it drives over a TM-62 with its zero ground clearance and flat bottom? A mine would pulverize any troops unlucky enough to be inside... @ 3:45 yup there's my answer, its rated to withstand a .5 kilo anti-PERSONNEL mine.
