Finnish company Patria has officially unveiled its newest all-terrain tracked armored vehicle, called TRACKX, developed to offer high mobility and efficiency in challenging combat environments.
The announcement was made through a company press release. According to the manufacturer, the vehicle was designed to perform quick and silent movements across various types of terrain, from roads and forests to steep slopes, swamps, and areas covered in deep snow, without compromising protection or drivability.
European defense project
TRACKX was developed under the multinational FAMOUS program, funded by the European Union (EU) Defense Fund, which aims to modernize the land forces of member states. The project includes participation from industrial partners and countries involved in the program.
According to Patria’s Vice President, Jussi Järvinen, the armored vehicle has already undergone extensive testing and is expected to enter serial production in 2027. However, the company has not disclosed which countries have expressed interest in purchasing it. The vehicle is intended to replace outdated models such as the M113 and MT-LB.

The first public presentation of the TRACKX took place in June 2024, and since then, the vehicle has drawn attention for its innovative approach aligned with the strategic demands of European defense.
