Armored B6 Volvo 960 Royal

Historical context

This armored Volvo 960 Royal limousine was built in 1996 under a special government order of the Kingdom of Sweden. The vehicle meets the B6 protection level, providing defense against automatic-weapon fire and explosive impacts. It is a unique executive example used by the Swedish Security Service to escort foreign heads of state, emperors, and members of royal families during 1997–2005. An original vehicle with a documented service history and low mileage of 31,090 km.

After the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986, the protection of senior officials became a top priority for the Swedish state. As a result, the security system was revised and reinforced measures were introduced, including the development of specialized transport solutions. Within this government program, a new-generation armored vehicle was created in the 1990s — the Volvo 960 Royal in B6 specification.
