A new cooperation agreement between Patria and GDELS-Santa Barbara Sistemas will bring ASCOD IFV production to Latvia. Their joint work will occur at the Valmiera-based DPL facility, established by Patria and Unitruck. The announcement reflects two milestones: five years of Patria’s operations in the country and one year of active manufacturing at DPL. In addition to the ongoing production of PATRIA 6×6 vehicles, the facility will begin assembling ASCOD vehicles, with first deliveries expected in June 2026.
