Galerie de photos d’un SKP M-42, Terrängbil m/42 KP (Tgbil m/42 SKP/VKP), meaning « Véhicule hors route 42 » avec une désignation secondaire de « Scania, Carrosserie : blindée » Ou « Volvo, Carrosserie : blindée », était l’armée suédoise’s first armoured personnel carrier, developed as a stop-gap measure during World War II. In 1941, when tanks were organized into a unit of their own, it was clear there was a desperate need for a troop carrier able to both keep up with the tanks and provide protection against artillery shrapnel and small-arms fire. Due to the war there were no international suppliers to buy from, so the only option was to develop a domestic solution. AB Landsverk designed an APC consisting of a chassis from a regular army lorry equipped with an armoured shell.
