The Hagglunds Bandvagn 206 features adaptable trailer units that can be configured for various applications. Although development began in the 1970s, the Swedish Defense Administration took several years to approve the Bandvagn 206 for military use.
One notable variant is the 206A ambulance version, designed for both combat and medical scenarios. This version includes a rear compartment that can accommodate stretchers, enhancing its utility in emergency situations. Additionally, the Bandvagn 206's low ground pressure allows it to navigate a wide range of challenging terrains effectively.
