The Finnish MoD has authorised the procurement of 25 Sisu GTP 4x4 armoured vehicles from Oy Sisu Auto.
The vehicles will be used by the Finnish Army.
In a press release, the Finnish MoD said the total value of the procurement was approximately €19.1 million ($20.32 million).
The Sisu GTP 4x4 can be used as troop transport and a patrol vehicle.
Core components are based on mass-produced truck parts which helps keep life cycle costs low and ensures a wide support network.
Last year a batch of GTP 4x4 vehicles and spare parts kits were delivered to Finland following an order from the Finnish Defence Forces in June 2020.
