CV90 trials rubber tracks, Soucy demonstrates conversion between band and links on M113

Article Abstract:

The testing of band tracks made by Canadian company Soucy International on the Swedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) indicates a move towards the use of rubber band tracks by armored vehicles instead of traditional metallic link tracks. Soucy has also demonstrated the possibility of a conversion of an armored vehicle from running on link tracks to band tracks and vice versa with the US-built M113 armored personnel carriers (APC).
