A new collaboration has emerged within the defense sector, with Patria, DSL (under the KNDS group), and FFG joining forces in a significant partnership. Their aim is nothing short of transforming the armored capabilities of the German military. This initiative will concentrate on the development, production, and maintenance of the Patria 6×6 armored personnel carrier models, potentially phasing out Germany’s current FUCHS 6×6 armored vehicle fleet. Operating within the framework of the international Common Armoured Vehicles System (CAVS) program, Patria is poised to lead as the prime contractor if Germany decides to acquire these advanced vehicles. The Finnish defense manufacturer will take the helm in the design and development phase, while DSL and FFG will play crucial roles in engineering, production, and life-cycle support within Germany, drawing on local expertise and facilities in Freisen, Flensburg, and Kirchen.
