FMV (Swedish Defense Materiel Administration) placed an order on development of the new-generation military vehicle system SEP from BAE Systems Hagglunds AB. The order value amounts to approx. 500 million Swedish Kronor.

The development order contains two SEP 6 x 6 wheeled vehicles and two SEP tracked vehicles, both as troop transport and logistic configurations. The Swedish Defense Forces is planning to have the SEP system working operatively by 2014.

SEP is a military vehicle system based on both wheeled and tracked configurations which can carry a number of different role modules depending on purpose. SEP is a relatively light vehicle with either electric or mechanic transmission and high loading capacity and can be transported by air.
