The Pansarbandvagn 302, or Pbv 302, is a Swedish infantry fighting vehicle commissioned in 1961 and produced between 1966 and 1971 to give the Swedish Army a modern high-mobility troop carrier. It entered service in 1966 and remained in active duty until 2014, seeing limited continued use alongside newer vehicles that replaced it in the 1990s before its final retirement; in 2024 Sweden donated roughly 200 units to Ukraine, where they have since been deployed in combat.
