[edit] Cost
How much do you think one of these would cost? I cannot seem to find anything about that. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 17:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well Poland bought 690 vehicles for 1,27 billion Euros and the Finns bought 62 AMV's for 96 million Euros (these were 'simpler' than the Polish ones, lacking the big gun turret and only equipped with a remote operated MG). MoRsE 19:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] name
in the title it's called the "advanced modular vehicle" but in the first line, it's the "armored modular vehicle". which one is it? also, the picture states that it's a "Patria XA-360"; shouldn't the title of the article reflect the apparent official designation?

- The Patria company calls it "AMV Armoured Modular Vehicle", The Poles refers to their version as the "Rosomak" (AMV XC-360P), and the Finns calls their "AMV XA-360" --MoRsE 19:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Power
Page states that system has 360kw engine, although in one reference (army-technology.com) states 405kw. If there are different models, those should be listed. Tuju 10:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- The Patria designation system is linked to the power of the engine, XA-200 has a 200 kW engine, XA-180 a 180 kW engine....the AMV, or XA-360 has thus a 360 kW engine. It could be that they have sized up the engine for the AMOS version as the tower is quite heavy. I will do some research.--MoRsE 10:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
