The Finnish Defence Forces will procure fourteen fire engines and one foam tender from Scania Suomi Oy.

The vehicles will be equipped and outfitted by the Finland-based company Saurus Oy to the value of around EUR 10 million. This will have a significant employment impact in Finland.

The overall value of the procurement is nearly EUR 15 million, value-added tax excluded.

“The procurement will significantly add to the capabilities of the Finnish Army CBRN units. It is important for Finland that we can rely on a wide range of domestic expertise and production capacity,” said Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen.
