Finnish company Patria Group has released the first images of its new TRACKX all-terrain tracked armored vehicle during field trials, marking the model’s public debut in real-world operation.
The material was published on the company’s social media channels and includes, in addition to mobility over difficult terrain, the first images of the driver’s cabin interior.
In the video, the TRACKX can be seen overcoming obstacles, crossing uneven areas, and operating in rugged environments, highlighting the project’s focus on advanced tactical mobility. The demonstration reinforces the vehicle’s positioning as a modern solution for ground forces operating in extreme scenarios.
Next-generation platform
The TRACKX armored personnel carrier was officially unveiled in June 2024 and developed under the multinational FAOM program, funded by the European Defence Fund. The project involves cooperation with industrial partners and participating countries, with series production scheduled to begin in 2027.
According to Patria, the platform was designed to replace obsolete armored vehicles such as the M113 and the MT-LB, offering greater mobility, protection, and operational versatility.
