• Patria and KNDS signed a framework agreement for CAVS production in Germany.
• The agreement covers assembly and final integration of Patria 6x6 armoured personnel carriers.
• Serial deliveries to the Bundeswehr are scheduled to ramp up in early 2027.
• Local production will increase gradually from 2027.

This partnership may indicate a significant expansion of European defence manufacturing capacity, with Patria's technology transfer suggesting a long-term commitment to local production. The agreement could also signal a shift towards more collaborative defence procurement strategies among European nations.
