Den Strv M40 was a Swedish medium tank that was developed from the Strv m/38 and Strv m/39 light tanks. It was produced by Scania-Vabis and AB Landsverk from 1942 to 1944, and entered service with the Swedish Army in 1943. The Strv M40 had a riveted hull and turret, and was armed with a 37 mm Bofors m/38 gun and two 8 mm m/39 machine guns. It had a four-man crew and a top speed of 42 km/h.
Strv M40 baserades på den tjeckoslovakiska TNH-stridsvagnen, som Sverige hade beställt från ČKD 1940 men aldrig fått på grund av den tyska ockupationen av Tjeckoslovakien. Som kompensation fick Scania-Vabis bygga egna stridsvagnar på licens från ČKD, med vissa modifieringar för att passa svenska krav. Den första versionen av Strv M40, benämnd Strv m/41 SI, hade samma motor som Strv m/40L, Scania-Vabis typ 1664. Totalt byggdes 116 Strv m/41 SI-stridsvagnar från december 1942 till augusti 1943.
I juni 1942 beställdes en andra version av Strv M40, benämnd Strv m/41 SII. Denna version hade tjockare frontpansar och en ny motor, Scania-Vabis L 603. Den hade också ett annat transmissions- och fjädringssystem. Totalt byggdes 106 Strv m/41 SII-stridsvagnar från oktober 1943 till mars 1944. De sista 16 stridsvagnarna i ordern byggdes om till stormkanoner med beteckningen Sav m/43.
Den Strv M40 was mainly used for training and domestic defense purposes, as Sweden remained neutral during World War II. It was replaced by the Strv m/42 in the late 1940s, and some of the Strv M40 tanks were rebuilt into armored personnel carriers, designated Pbv 301. The turrets of these tanks were used on fortifications along the Swedish coast.
