BAE wins $2.5B deal to supply more CV90 vehicles to Denmark, SwedenBAE赢得价值25亿美元的合同，将向丹麦和瑞典供应更多CV90装甲车。
Denmark and Sweden are collectively spending $2.5 billion to bolster their CV90 combat vehicle stock while still supplying more vehicles to Ukraine.
BAE Systems has won a new $2.5 billion contract to build more CV90 combat vehicles for Denmark and Sweden , the company announced Friday.
Denmark has ordered 115 new CV9035 MkIIICs, and Sweden is acquiring 50 new vehicles.
The deal also includes financing more vehicles bound for Ukraine. Sweden has already sent 50 CV90s to the country as it continues to stave off Russian forces. The two countries together, a year ago, announced plans to send more CV90s to Ukraine.
The Netherlands has also contributed funds to send CV90s to Ukraine with the first of its Dutch-built combat vehicles planned to reach the country in 2026.
Denmark’s order more than triples its current CV90 inventory of 40 vehicles, bringing the total to 155.
“The infantry fighting vehicle is an essential component of the heavy brigade we are currently building. The 115 new vehicles will significantly enhance Denmark’s contribution to collective security and international operations,” Maj. Gen. Peter Boysen, chief of the Royal Danish Army, said in the statement.
The CV90 variant on order is built using the same standard as the latest CV90 upgrades for the Netherlands, BAE noted in the statement, which comes with a new turret, providing “a leap forward in design and functionality.”
BAE has built a total of 1,900 vehicles with 17 variants for 10 European countries, eight of which are NATO members.

BAE系统公司周五宣布，该公司赢得了一份价值25亿美元的新合同，将为丹麦和瑞典建造更多的CV90战斗车辆。
丹麦订购了 115 辆新的 CV9035 MkIIIC，瑞典正在采购 50 辆新车。
该协议还包括为更多运往乌克兰的车辆提供融资。瑞典已向乌克兰运送了50辆CV90装甲车，以帮助乌克兰继续抵御俄罗斯军队的进攻。一年前，瑞典和乌克兰共同宣布了向乌克兰运送更多CV90装甲车的计划。
荷兰也出资向乌克兰运送 CV90 战车，计划于 2026 年交付首批荷兰制造的战车。
丹麦的这笔订单使其目前拥有的 CV90 车辆数量从 40 辆增加到三倍多，总数达到 155 辆。
“步兵战车是我们目前正在组建的重型旅的重要组成部分。这115辆新战车将显著提升丹麦对集体安全和国际行动的贡献，”丹麦皇家陆军总司令彼得·博伊森少将在声明中表示。
BAE 在声明中指出，订购的 CV90 型号采用与荷兰最新 CV90 升级相同的标准制造，配备了新的炮塔，实现了“设计和功能上的飞跃”。
BAE 已为 10 个欧洲国家（其中 8 个是北约成员国）共生产了 1900 辆汽车，共有 17 个型号。
