The Danish Procurement Agency (DALO) has awarded KNDS Germany to deliver three Leguan bridge layers of the latest generation on a Tatra 10×10 wheeled vehicle to the Danish armed forces to the Danish armed forces. In addition to the Tatra chassis converted by KNDS for the laying of Leguan bridges, the 33-million-euro contract also includes a logistics package and special tools.
The contract also includes an option for training equipment as well as three additional bike bridge layers and Leguan bridge sets worth 25 million euros. KNDS expects to make a decision on this in 2026. The contract also includes an opening lock that other Scandinavian nations can join.
The realization of this order with the Tatra 10×10 wheeled vehicle chassis underlines the close cooperation between KNDS Germany and the Czech company Tatra Defence Vehicles. For Denmark, which already has the Leguan on a Leopard 2 chassis, this system is the first wheeled vehicle with the ability to lay Leguan bridges.
