It resembles the small unit support vehicle (SUSV) used by the Army in the
Arctic. We tested the BV206 in Panama. It was pretty similar but had 2
boxy cabins, both capable of carrying several people, and was powered by a
Mercedes 5 cylinder diesel a la 300D. Don't remember if it was turbocharged
or not. It would do about 35mph on the road and would swim at about 3 mph.
I've seen one climb a 95% grade on grass and dirt. Weird sensation - first
all you can see is the bank in front of you and then all you can see is sky.
When they broke a water pump pulley I gave them one from a B18 and it fit
perfectly.

Steering is by the articulated bend in the middle.

They are made by Häglunds in Sweden, so it would be normal to have a Volvo
engine. The fact that it has a B18 indicates that it must be old (1968 or
earlier)
