About this vehicle

A medium tank variant developed for the Swedish Army in the 1950s. The project featured unusual component solutions, including shifting the gun relative to the turret's central axis. The geometry of the frontal part of the hull made it possible to optimize the layout and ensure comfort for the driver. The suspension was designed with a staggered roller arrangement. The blueprint was presented in 1954, but development went no further.
