Volvo Unveils New Military Vehicle Scarabee; Volvo announced the new military vehicle Scarabee, which attracts attention with its features.
The Swedish automaker focused on features such as speed, stealth and high maneuverability when designing the vehicle, which is in the light military vehicle class. At the same time, it added different features to the vehicle in terms of carrying heavy ammunition and equipment.
Thanks to its durable outer hood made of composite materials for defense against missiles and mines, it can be dropped from a low-altitude aircraft. With these features, the Volvo Scarabee 2025 is preparing to replace the French Army's 730 light armored vehicle.
The vehicle, which weighs 6,6 tons when empty, can reach 120 km/h and also looks agile and nimble enough thanks to the ability to turn on all four wheels.
To achieve this agility, it uses two engines, one diesel and one electric, and has an 300 horsepower diesel engine as well as an 103 horsepower electric engine.
Scarabee's wheels can easily turn around themselves as they can turn in opposite directions. So it is compared to crabs.
Finally, weapons and equipment such as radar, 12mm heavy machine gun, 30mm anti tank missile or medium-sized missile launcher can be added to the ceiling of Volvo's new crab.
