Manufacturer catalog
BAE Systems Hagglunds is the Swedish tracked-vehicle business within BAE Systems' land portfolio, centered on military vehicle design, production, upgrade, and sustainment work in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. Current BAE Systems material styles the company as BAE Systems Hägglunds and describes its portfolio around combat vehicles, armoured engineering vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, articulated all-terrain vehicles, modernization services, training, and simulation support.
2 weaponsThe manufacturer is best understood as the continuing BAE Systems business behind the Hagglunds tracked-vehicle line. Its public role is not limited to one vehicle family: BAE's Sweden page describes a military and civil vehicle-systems operation, while the company's product pages connect the same business to the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle family and the BvS10 armored articulated all-terrain vehicle.
The Ornskoldsvik site remains central to the company's public identity. BAE Systems lists BAE Systems Hägglunds AB at Björnavägen 2 in Ornskoldsvik, and the Swedish Security and Defence Industry Association describes roughly 2,000 employees developing and producing tracked platforms there with local partners in several nations. Supplier material also shows the business operating as an export-oriented defense manufacturer with major procurement needs across steel, engines, protection systems, services, and components.
BAE Systems Hagglunds also matters as a sustainment organization. BAE says the company has been a tracked-vehicle manufacturer for more than 50 years and offers support ranging from traditional services to enhanced-availability contracts and rapid operational support. That makes the manufacturer relevant both to new-production systems such as CV90 and BvS10 and to older vehicle fleets such as Bv206.
BAE Systems identifies BvS10 as a BAE Systems Hägglunds business product and describes it as an armored articulated all-terrain vehicle combining mobility, payload, and protection.

The Bv206 remains part of the Hagglunds tracked-vehicle sustainment story; BAE Systems announced a Netherlands mid-life upgrade contract for 95 Bv206 vehicles, with early work at the Ornskoldsvik facility.

Public BAE Systems sources usually style the Swedish subsidiary with the Hägglunds diacritic. Older Hagglunds Vehicle and Alvis Hagglunds names refer to predecessor periods in the same Ornskoldsvik tracked-vehicle lineage.
