In addition to the Leguan on Leopard 2 chassis, Leguan training simulators and a peripheral package will also be delivered to the Norwegian customer.

Leguan is already under contract with nine user nations. In total, armies from 19 different countries use the Leguan bridge laying system on a wide variety of mobility platforms. The Norwegian Army is now making a great contribution to the mobility of European NATO forces.

The Leguan is capable of transporting and laying one bridge in the military load class MLC80 (about 72 tons) with a length of 26 metres, or alternatively two bridges with a length of 14 meters each, all under combat conditions.
