The bridge on wheels

The Danish Defense Acquisition Agency (DALO) has commissioned KNDS Germany (KNDS) to supply three latest-generation LEGUAN bridge-laying vehicles based on a TATRA 10x10 wheeled vehicle. In addition to the TATRA chassis converted by KNDS for laying LEGUAN bridges, the contract also includes a logistics package and special tools.

The implementation of this order with the TATRA 10x10 wheeled vehicle chassis underscores the very close cooperation between KNDS Germany and the Czech company TATRA DEFENCE VEHICLES. The order volume is around EUR 33 million.

The contract also includes an option for training equipment and three additional wheeled bridge layers and LEGUAN bridge sets worth EUR 25 million. A decision on this is expected in 2026. The contract also includes an opening clause that other Scandinavian nations can join.

For Denmark, which already has the LEGUAN on a LEOPARD 2 chassis, this system is the first wheeled vehicle with the capability to lay LEGUAN bridges. ALL INFORMATION about the LEGUAN directly from KNDS.
