Swedish Amphibious battalion - 8100TD
Model: 8100TD
Client: Swedish Amphibious battalion
Location: Sweden

Fõrsvarets Materielverk (FMV), the Swedish government’s military procurement agency, have ordered three Griffon 8100TD to be used by the Amphibious Battalion. In a competitive tender Griffon beat its rivals to win the contract with a fully compliant bid, despite the customer already owning one of Griffon’s competitor craft. During the tender process FMV visited several of Griffon’s existing 8000TD users around the world.
The Swedish Amphibious Battalion has a requirement to carry various types of equipment. In one load case the hovercraft will carry a tracked amphibian (BV-206) and its crew or a Humvee, in another a 20ft shipping container will be stowed on board to carry equipment or medical supplies. Alternatively seating for 50 troops and their equipment can be accommodated.
