SISU GTT: a strategic powerhouse for the
Arctic and mission-critical terrain

PDF icon Download article as PDF

Arctic security has emerged as one of the most pressing global issues of our time as the region undergoes transformation in recent times. Once a remote and largely inaccessible region, the Arctic is now at the centre of rising geopolitical interest, environmental urgency and economic ambition. Climate change is accelerating, melting sea ice and revealing untapped resources, new shipping routes and fragile ecosystems. At the same time, nations are jostling for influence, sparking debates over sovereignty, resource control and military presence. For the Indigenous communities who call the Arctic home, these shifts bring both risks and opportunities, challenging their traditions while opening the door to greater inclusion in global decision-making. As the world turns its gaze northward, ensuring peace, maintaining operational readiness and cooperation in the Arctic is not just a regional concern—it's a global necessity.

Built for Harsh Environments. Proven Where It Counts.

Enter the SISU GTT: a next-generation, all-terrain tracked vehicle built to dominate where others stall. Whether in deep snow, marshland, or mountainous terrain, the SISU GTT delivers unmatched mobility, flexibility, sustainability and survivability.

Engineered for the toughest operational theatres on Earth, the SISU GTT operates in temperatures as low as -46°C and navigates terrain that most vehicles cannot traverse. Fully amphibious and equipped with a differential lock system, it offers maximum traction and control in snow, mud and ice. Derived from ST Engineering's battle-tested Bronco All-terrain Tracked Carrier and evolved in collaboration with OY SISU Auto AB, this platform brings together field-proven engineering and Nordic resilience.

Payload Flexibility. Mission-Ready

SISU GTT is made with a focus on mobility, flexibility, sustainability and survivability for any mission. Its class-leading payload capacity and spacious crew compartment ensure comfort, capacity and operational effectiveness. SISU GTT has a flexible design architecture for integration of mission modules such as C-UAS, Mortar, Command Post, APC and MEDEVAC.

Survivability and sustainability

In the hostile Arctic environment, survivability and sustainability are non-negotiable for the crew. The SISU GTT is designed with optimised protection solution for survivability against ballistic and mine threats, as well as a climate controlled cabin space for crew comfort in the Arctic's harsh conditions, preparing the crew for action, fully combat-ready.

Security of Supply. Operational Availability. Overall Life-Cycle Economy

SISU GTT was created in collaboration with OY SISU Auto AB to offer security of supply, operational availability and overall life-cycle economy. This strategic partnership ensures regional manufacturing, in-country life cycle support, and a technology transfer framework that reinforces sovereign capability and supply chain resilience for Nordic defence.

The Arctic is Changing. So Are the Rules.

With its unmatched terrain dominance, advanced protection systems and modular mission capability, the SISU GTT stands ready to lead in a new era of Arctic operations. Built for those who operate where others hesitate, it's not just an all-terrain carrier—it's your strategic edge.
