What Happened
Scania has launched a modular protected cab at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, designed for resilient defence logistics. The cab integrates ballistic and blast protection into Scania’s standard modular system, allowing customers to configure vehicles without moving to a separate platform. It is available for 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 configurations and complies with STANAG 4569 Level 1–3 protection levels.
- Available for 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 configurations
- Protection levels configurable to STANAG 4569 Level 1–3
- Designed to fulfil strategic mobility requirements including UIC GA train tunnel profile
- New performance step in Scania’s modular system
- Shared spare parts and service structure with Scania platform
“Defence logistics and transport resilience are becoming increasingly important for armed forces and societies across Europe and beyond. With the protected cab, Scania combines protection and operational capability with the modularity, reliability and support systems already proven across our global transport ecosystem.”
Why this matters
The protected cab allows defence forces to specify armoured vehicles without switching to a separate platform, leveraging Scania’s modular system for common parts and support, which simplifies maintenance and reduces lifecycle costs.
