Designated the BV 202E Volvo snow vehicle, it is capable of carrying one infantry section complete with small arms, ammunition and rations, or one ton of equipment. With a road speed of 24 mph it can tackle deep loose snow, marshland and various other types of difficult terrain. Track pressure is only 12.1 Ib per square inch, little more than a man on skis. This, plus a rugged exterior makes it one of the most versatile vehicles in the Army today. The vehicle illustrated was in service with an infantry battalion of BAOR on exercises in Germany last winter.
