Volvo Defense has entered a framework agreement with the Estonian Centre for Defence Investments and the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia for the delivery of logistic trucks. Volvo was chosen as one out of two suppliers that combined will deliver up to 3,000 vehicles over a period of 7 years.
Starting in 2024, Volvo Defense aims to begin deliveries of logistic trucks to Estonia and Latvia as part of a framework agreement where Volvo is one of two chosen suppliers. The overall requirement of the two countries is up to 3,000 vehicles, representing a total value of approximately 440 million Euro. The agreement covers 7 years which can be extended by 3 years when necessary.
The contract was signed at a ceremony in Tallinn, Estonia on 4 October 2023, attended by representatives from the Estonian and Swedish governments.
The Volvo vehicles will consist of five truck configurations based on Volvo Trucks’ robust FMX model, known for its reliability and efficiency. The agreement also includes a comprehensive maintenance and spare parts program. The vehicles will be produced in Volvo Trucks’ Tuve assembly plant in Gothenburg.
