Volvo Defense AB is a specialized business unit within Volvo Trucks and the entire Volvo Group, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The company provides comprehensive, technologically advanced transport and engineering solutions designed for the defense sector, armed forces, and civil protection services around the world. Volvo Defense offers, among others, military logistics vehicles with high mobility and durability – including FMX trucks in 4×4, 6×6, and 8×8 configurations, available as chassis for body mounting as well as tractor units. These vehicles are designed with a focus on maximum operational flexibility, interoperability, low lifecycle costs, and high reliability in all operational conditions. The offering is complemented by engineering and construction machinery – such as crawler and wheeled excavators ranging from 1.5 to 90 tons, wheel loaders, articulated haulers, and their specialized variants – including protected, remotely operated, or terrain-adapted models for work in harsh and combat environments. Defense sector clients also benefit from access to marine and stationary technologies – including boat propulsion systems and power generators powered by Volvo Penta engines, used as energy sources in operational bases, mobile command centers, and on maritime platforms.

All offered products and solutions are characterized by high durability, modularity, simplified logistics support, and the use of common components with Volvo’s civilian product lines, which significantly reduces total cost of ownership and simplifies fleet management. The company implements advanced technologies in the areas of autonomy, connectivity, and electromobility – offering electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as remotely operated machines for high-risk zones. These technologies enhance operational efficiency, improve personnel safety, and enable mission execution with reduced thermal and acoustic signatures, which is crucial on the modern battlefield. Volvo Defense leverages the full experience of the Volvo Group in telematics solutions, enabling remote monitoring of equipment condition and location, as well as fast service response. All products are designed according to the highest safety standards – including the renowned Swedish truck crash test, considered one of the most rigorous for heavy-duty vehicles globally. In addition, all solutions are developed in accordance with sustainable development principles, focusing on minimal emissions, high recyclability of materials, and energy-efficient production processes. In Poland, Volvo Defense AB is represented by Volvo Trucks Polska, which is responsible for sales, service, spare parts delivery, and training support for military and civilian users.
