Scania selects Centigon to armour truck cabs for the Danish Army

MILIPOL PARIS 2017, November 22nd 2017 – Centigon France, a sister company of Centigon Security Group, a world-leading provider of civil and military armoured vehicles today announced that it has been selected by SCANIA for the protection of truck cabins to equip the Danish Armed forces.

The acquisition contract with Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization is for a large fleet of military tactical (approximately 600) and civilian (approximately 250) trucks to be used for both national and international military operations and logistic purposes. More than a hundred will be equipped with armoured driver cabins that can withstand ballistic threats and the explosion of mines and IEDs; cabins will be available in several protection levels according to STANAG 4569.

In order to design and manufacture the appropriate protection, CENTIGON has relied on several decades of experience in the field of protection and the integration of ballistic materials, but also on innovative technologies such as digital simulation which makes it possible to test the resistance of the cabin upstream of manufacturing. Centigon is also responsible for real destructive tests and will integrate Danish Armed Forces furnished equipment.

"We are extremely proud to be associated with SCANIA a world renowned truck manufacturer for such a large-scale military project," said Franck BAUCHER, The Chief Executive Officer of  Centigon Security Group. "This is a strategic order that proves CENTIGON's ability to collaborate with OEMs to meet the expectations of very demanding defence customers.”

The framework agreement is for seven years and includes a range of support, maintenance and repair services, supply of spare parts and training/education services to SCANIA. Armoured cab deliveries to SCANIA will start in 2019 and continue in the following years.
