Balavto d.o.o. Ajdovščina will showcase a comprehensive lineup of Volvo Defense vehicles and machinery at SIDEC, highlighting the unique advantage of building on proven commercial platforms, that offer a high degree of shared technology between civilian and military applications.
The Volvo Defense portfolio leverages the strength of the Volvo Group, offering solutions for both military and civil protection. This also includes products from Volvo Construction Equipment, which Balavto d.o.o. Ajdovščina has sold in Slovenia for over three decades as an authorized representative. On display at SIDEC – the first Slovenian Defence Exhibition and Conference – will be the Volvo FMX 6×6 truck and the Volvo L60H wheel loader, demonstrating Volvo’s ability to deliver mission-ready mobility, power, and support systems.
Our presentation at SIDEC will feature military-capable platforms and a unique product range to support all phases of operations, from base to front line, by Volvo Defense,” says Branko Kobal, director of Balavto d.o.o. Ajdovščina. “We will also present Balavto’s own comprehensive support services, as well as our production of vehicle and machinery upgrades. I look forward to participating at SIDEC, engaging with customers and partners to highlight our commitment to effective defence and community protection.
All Volvo Defense products are based on the CAST (Common Architecture and Shared Technology) platform, which enables efficient shared technology across a range of vehicles and machinery. This approach ensures high availability, simplified maintenance, lower lifecycle costs, and reliable interoperability – key advantages for defence users.
