Manufacturer catalog
Alvis Hagglunds was the Swedish tracked-vehicle arm of Alvis plc after Alvis acquired Hagglunds Vehicle in 1997. The manufacturer sat at the junction of the older Hagglunds all-terrain vehicle line, Swedish armored-vehicle engineering, and Alvis' British land-systems group before the business passed into BAE Systems in 2004.
2 weaponsThe Alvis Hagglunds name is most useful for late-1990s and early-2000s armored-vehicle context, when Hagglunds' Ornskoldsvik tracked-vehicle work was owned by the UK-based Alvis group. Public sources from the acquisition period identify Hagglunds as a Swedish Alvis subsidiary active in armored fighting vehicles and military land systems, while later BAE Systems material treats the same industrial line as BAE Systems Hagglunds.
That lineage matters across the catalog because the same Swedish tracked-vehicle engineering base appears behind all-terrain carriers, protected articulated vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored engineering work. The profile is limited to manufacturer and corporate context; individual weapon records carry the conflict-use evidence for each system.
BAE Systems Hagglunds presents CV90 as its designed infantry fighting vehicle family; BAE's 2004 results also note a post-acquisition Hagglunds CV90 order from the Netherlands.

Public sources split the lineage between Alvis-era reporting, regulator documents, and current BAE Systems Hagglunds product pages. This record keeps Alvis Hagglunds as the historical manufacturer label used by catalog records and treats current BAE Systems Hagglunds pages as successor-lineage support rather than proof that the historical Alvis entity still operates independently.
