Finland, Norway, and Latvia have signed a statement of intent to adopt Patria’s proprietary TRACKX system, expanding multinational cooperation on next-generation land mobility.
TRACKX is an all-terrain platform built under the EU-backed Future Highly Mobile Augmented Armored Systems program to provide partner militaries with a light tracked armored vehicle alternative.
Signed during the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, the agreement allows the three countries to share field trial results, coordinate further development, and examine joint purchases for their respective armed forces.
The arrangement could lead to serial procurement beginning in 2027.
According to Patria, the arrangement builds on its ongoing Common Armored Vehicle System program, which the Helsinki-based company said has unified ground platform deliveries and amplified interoperability among participating European and NATO members.
“Multinational cooperation and joint procurement are the best way to turn shared requirements into fielded capability and interoperability,” Patria CEO Panu Routila said.
“The Statement of Intent shows that all-terrain mobility is a strategic capability area for NATO and European defence, addressing the need to renew ageing armoured vehicle fleets with a European vehicle.”
Patria noted that Finland’s separate pre-series cooperation with Sweden on TRACKX will continue in parallel to support future technology development and acquisitions.
The TRACKX System
Patria’s TRACKX vehicle measures 7 meters (23 feet) long and weighs 15,000 kilograms (33,069 pounds). It features a seating capacity for up to 10 passengers and is operated by a driver and commander.
The platform is armed by NATO-standard ballistic and mine protections, designed for Arctic conditions, and can submerge in water for amphibious missions.
TRACKX is equipped with a Caterpillar 7.1L diesel engine with an output of about 360 horsepower, supporting drive at 80 kilometers (50 miles) per hour, a range of 500 kilometers (311 miles), and a speed of 4 kilometers (2 miles) per hour.
