Sweden has ordered 90 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

"The Försvarets Materielverk (FMV Swedish Military Procurement Agency) of Sweden placed an order of 90 units of German-made Mercedes-Benz G-Class under the existing framework agreement between FMV and Daimler AG.

The Defence Materiel Administration Försvarets Materielverk (FMV) is a Swedish government agency and responsible for the supply of materiel to the Swedish defense organization. The vehicle will be used at Swedish Air-Force bases and facilities all over the country.

The Mercedes-Benz G-class G 300 CDI 6x6 with a crew-cabin has a towing capacity from 2,5 tons to 14 tons on the rear end and a crew of four passengers. The front of the vehicle will be equipped with a removable towing coupling as well. A steel-aluminum flatbed behind the crew-cabin and the roof-rack offer space for the storage of equipment such as snow-chains, fire extinguisher and other GFE (Government furnished equipment) material for maintenance.

As a system supplier, Mercedes-Benz AG will also deliver a so-called “secondary material” package including technical training and further tailor-made documentation. Delivery of the G-Class 300CDI 6x6 vehicles to FMV will be from September 2020 until February 2022."

Now that Land Rover are not interested in the military market, Armies around the world are buying G-Wagons. Sad really, as there was a time when the Defender was King of military sales.

Did the Swedish Army wait until Greta was in Bristol before placing the order?

If McGovern had designed the latest incarnation of the G-Wagon for Mercedes it wouldn't look anything like this beauty... Since 1973...S1, Air Portable's, Defender's, but only my Wolf TUL HS GS remains
