Denmark procures KNDS LEGUAN bridge layers based on wheeled vehicles
Munich, December 9, 2025 –
The Danish Procurement Agency (DALO) has awarded KNDS Deutschland (KNDS) a contract to supply three latest-generation LEGUAN bridge layers mounted on a TATRA 10x10 wheeled chassis. In addition to the TATRA chassis converted by KNDS for laying LEGUAN bridges, the contract also includes a logistics package and special tools.
The order volume is around EUR 33 million.
The implementation of this order with the TATRA 10x10 wheeled vehicle chassis underlines the very close cooperation between KNDS Deutschland and the Czech company TATRA DEFENCE VEHICLES.
The contract also includes an option for training equipment and three additional wheeled bridge layers and LEGUAN bridge sets worth EUR 25 million. A decision on this is expected in 2026.
The contract also contains an opening clause allowing other Scandinavian nations to join.
For Denmark, which already operates the LEGUAN on a LEOPARD 2 chassis, this system is the first wheeled vehicle capable of laying LEGUAN bridges.
