Bv 206 S. The Bandvagn 206 S in Bundeswehr Service
Development of the protected Bandvagn (Bv) 206 S, successor to the world-famous Bv 206 D, began in the late 1980s. The German Armed Forces started to show interest in this vehicle at the start of the 1990s. The Bv 206 D Husky, which was its predecessor since 1985, was a very successful vehicle. However, the German Army wanted a more protected vehicle in order to fill a gap between the vehicles available and the capabilities of their airborne forces. In 2002, the Bundeswehr purchased 31 Bv206 S.
Mobile medical team (MMT). In 2002, four of them were converted into Mobile Evacuation Physician Teams (MEPT).
