The total value of the contract is 26 million Euros.
Patria and Đuro Đaković have so far successfully cooperated on production and delivery of armoured wheeled vehicles for the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Croatia. In this cooperation Đuro Đaković Special Vehicles manufactured combat vehicles for Croatian Army while Patria supplied all the required technology. This deal for Croatian Army has created us an opportunity to enter third markets and was followed by signing Frame Agreement on cooperation on third markets between these two companies for the sales of combat armoured vehicles.
