Have a look at this world unique Volvo Amphibious AWD, Terrängbil 12, only 3 surviving in the world.
Probably the most advanced car built by Volvo.
In total 2 prototypes and 5 pre production vehicles built in the early 1970's before the project was cancelled.

Hugely underrated channel, every episode is brilliant!

[@bermudezhg]

I was in Reserve Officer Candidate School to comply with mandatory militar service and I selected the Naval Infantry. I got to know all the US made WWII Amphibious Trucks and the Amphi Jeep too, in 1969-1973. We went on maneuvers in an APD Ship and put the trucks in the sea with a crane. Great video !!

[@sirjohndough8575]

When I did my national service back in Strängnäs (where the museum is now located) in 1972-1973 as a recon platoon leader, we had 3 Tgb 12 as our transport vehicles. It was a bit of a change, being used to the standard 903 (Laplander) car with less space and no amphibious capacity at all. Unfortunately they were only used that training year, to be used for something different. Now I finally know where they went. Quite a useful, comfortable and spacious vehicle in my humble opinion.

The Swedish amphibious forces procured a number of Alvis Stalwart in the 60:ies. They attached a floating trailer carrying the artillery unit. The Stalwart was built from the outset to be a swimmer, not converted from a road vehicle. From what I can see, and after owning Terrängbil 11, the choice for the Stalwart was wise. It was my father that sold them to our forces.

Five knots? That's pretty fast, my sailing boat I used to own didn't go much faster than that. Sounds like the water jet drive was very efficient!

[@nonamesplease6288]

I love this channel. Stephan is a great presenter with a funny, very understated sense of humor. The museum itself is a gem with all of those uniquely Swedish vehicles.

[@warci]

This great machine needs a demonstration of its amphibious capacities. (you know you want to, Stefan :) )

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Sadly, if it then sinks!😄

[@Hjalmarbrantingz]

Vilken bra film som vanligt. Min fru frågade mig om jag jag vill åka till Karibien nästa år när jag fyller 50 , vilket jag svarade , nej jag vill åka till Strängnäs. Tack för en bra film .

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Stefan, I love the Handbrake ⚓️😂 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@moggridge1]

With that thrust reverser it's the amphibious equivalent of the Saab Viggen! 👍😊

[@martinpollak7039]

Another interesting and good video. Thx!

[@mikequilty7710]

Stefan, Thank you for sharing another fascinating vehicle.

[@denhed78]

Man lär sig något nytt varje dag, mycket intressant =)

[@1337flite]

You crafty Swedes - very clever designs - not to mention how very clever it would have been doctrinel, if. not for the budget issues.

[@slartybartfarst55]

Always great informative & humorous videos from Stephan - loved the "Parking Break" !

[@guyk2260]

All great design work , but notice it is sat next to the Alvis Stalwart (6:32) , itself designed to carry 5 tonnes over water ....and available from 1964...

[@mtow7453]

Would be fantastic to find out if someone knows the location of the "missing" vehicle in civilian hands.

[@dietmarholtz188]

And just behind the fantastic Stalwart, that can swim i saw this the 70s

[@anthonymauger9388]

Thanks for the video , own two , great vehicles , the vehicles you got are in great condition , nice to see everything working as it should well explained ,

[@TooManyHobbiesJeremy]

That it's amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@sloboat55]

Excellent

In the Australian Transport Industry, Every day is a Volvo day. But Scania beats them, and all others, hands down.

[@beavis6363]

"Marine parking brake" :)

[@HATECELL]

Interesting idea, that way Volvo would've beaten all the competition when it comes to wading depth (I heard a rumour that during Swiss army trials several Laplanders suffered from engine failures due to ingesting water. But there's stories that at that time the decision was already made to buy Pinzgauers, so who knows how fair those tests were)

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

The pinz was right up their street, fantastically over engineered.

[@Anders.Turner]

Vattenjet! Fantastiskt!

[@mare2971]

A nice Video as always! The vehicle looks a little bit like the austrian Pinzgauer. Form follows function? Similiar requirements lead to similiar solution? As I can see the swedish model is a little bit advanced in swimming...

[@ericfranzen4548]

Hur går det där i arsenalen har ni öppnat än i so fall vilken dag brukar det vara lugnast jag har autism så jag gillar inte stora folk massor och mycket ljud jag tanker på at kanske åka up dit på vinter semestern

[@arsenalensverigesforsvarsf6590]

Hej, Vi har öppnat igen och har museet öppet på lördagar och söndagar. Under vintern brukar det vara betydligt mycket lugnare i museet än på sommaren. Det är svårt att säga i förhand hur mycket det blir under helger, men dec, jan feb brukar vara de lugna månaderna. Så det låter som en bra idé att besöka oss då.

[@ericfranzen4548]

@@arsenalensverigesforsvarsf6590 ok tack för informationen

[@1337flite]

Not a complaint, but there is an electronics ounding noise or buzz - it would be good if you could identify the cause so you don't get them in future videos.

[@stefankarlsson9762]

We know that and it was dicovered after the filming, but we know what caused it so we hope it will not occur again.

[@tomcardale5596]

Is there a reason the front tyres are on backwards? I've only ever seen that done on tractors that needed lots of traction in reverse, I'm wondering if it was deliberate or an accident here.

[@stefankarlsson7283]

After several tests they found out this was much better and reduced the wear on the front tyres, that is the explanation we got in the army. All vehicles with this type of tyres had them reversed on the front axle.

[@tomcardale5596]

@@stefankarlsson7283 interesting, thank you :)

Can i borrow it? You know, to go fishing :-)

Bra gjort! Fint museum. Men jag tycker ni ska producera på svenska med engelsk text. 😊

Sadly, the vehicle is not shown driving & swimming ...

[@popefang]

Sadly I am not sure the Swedish tank museum has the budget of Bovington

[@thomasborgsmidt9801]

Der er ikke nogen tvivl om, at svensk forsvarsindustri har nogle interessante idéer og afprøvninger. Spørgsmålet er om man kan stole på Sverrig som leverandør. Draken i dansk tjeneste var sådan set udmærket - problemet var bare, at reservedelene var vanvittigt kostbare - og man var nødt til at holde en stor beholdning.

[@TheSlyngel]

Det är problemet när man är ett litet land, det är därför Saab erbjuder lokal produktion vid köp av Gripen. Så att det köpande landet kan producera delar själv och får kontroll över produktionen av reservdelar och tillgång till teknologin. Vi hoppas Finland och Kanada är intresserade av det men vi får se vad dom väljer, Finland och Kanada kommer välja vad dom tror bäst tjänar deras försvar naturligtvis.

[@thomasborgsmidt9801]

@@TheSlyngel Problemet med Gripen er, at den er for lille. Gripen tilbyder ikke noget en F-16 ikke gør - til en billigere pris: Og man kan altid få reservedele. Sverrig har politisk adskillige gange belagt våbeneksport med forbud. Problemet er: Man kan ikke stole på svenskere. Det, der er i vejen med Gripen er også, at motoren er ikke god nok. Den kommer - måske - op på den F100 standard, der er i de tidlige F-16. En anden sag er, at nye våben er så nemme at indkøbe til F-16 - alle weapons clearence trials ER FORETAGET. Du kan bare se, hvor nemt omskolingen til nye F-16 sker for Taiwan. Nu er Taiwan ellers markedet for svenske våben - scenariet er ikke så forskelligt; men man har ikke villet fornærme Kina - i håbet om, at Kina ville blive en eksportkunde. Det sidste sker IKKE, fordi Kina har systematisk overvurderet sin valuta ifht. euro'en og undervurderet den ifht. dollar. Sådan virker den maskine IKKE - arbitragehandlende bankfolk er konstant på udkik efter den mindste gevinst. Det plager banksystemet lige nu, fordi russerne vil have betaling i dollar for deres leverancer - og russernes gæld er i euro. Men det betyder ikke, at Danmark ikke vil købe ind i Sverrig - tværtimod. Du kan se på de pansrede lastbiler 8*8 som Danmark har købt 300 af. 100 af dem upansrede. Det skyldesn at Danmarks forsvar er flyttet mod øst og skal kunne bevæge sig på de tyske motorveje - langt. Nu er Scania lastbiler til at få reservedele til - også under vejs. Du kan se hvordan amerikanerne til deres Stryker kører med reservehjul. Da Scania er den eneste reelle konkurrent til Mercedes på lastbiler, så er man nødt til at have værksteder og reservedele i hele Europa. En vognmand gider ikke høre på, at der kommer reservedele om en uge: Det skal være SENEST i morgen, hans bil og chauffør fiser husleje af og laver INGENTING. Vi ser noget tilsvarende med Piranha V, hvor der også kommer Scania motorer i - formentlig fordi Rheinmetal blev et nummer for storsnudede - og schweizerne er sådan set ligeglade - og Danmark kan da fint købe motorerne med aftalt levering til Kreuzlingen - ikke noget problem. Der er ikke nogen tvivl om at når Sverrig kan levere kvalitet - pålideligt - så er Sverrig interessant som leverandør. Jeg tror så også, at man vil se Piranha V med 105 mm L7 kanon monteret som på Stridsvagn S. Hvorfor har Piranha V ellers medstyrende bagerste hjulsæt? Venderadius på Piranha V er så snæver, snæver, at det er nemmere at vende hele vognen end at rotere et tårn - der vil formentlig komme et tårn med de 25 mm Oerlikon, som blev indkøbt i sin tid.

[@danieljonsson6230]

Strange because i know where a 8x8 is located 🙂

[@stefankarlsson9762]

Om du har mer information så får du gärna kontakta museet. Den bilen som fanns skrotades och blev släpkärra. Kanske har någon gett sig på att försöka återskapa den?

[@l-jpersson7532]

det finns 4 kvar

[@stefankarlsson9762]

Var finns den fjärde bilen? Kontakta gärna museet om du har information om den.
