Solutions developed, adapted or integrated by the Polish manufacturer can be seen at the company’s own booth as well as at the displays of its partners: MAN Truck & Bus Polska, Scania and WB Group. The vehicles on show include 4×4 and 8×8 platforms, solutions for container logistics, recovery and technical support, as well as engineering equipment. In addition, a Szczęśniak rescue and firefighting vehicle is being used by the Military Fire Protection Service to provide operational fire safety for the exhibition grounds.
The main solutions on display include:
- SISU GTP 4×4: an armored modular tactical platform in a logistics configuration with a two-person cab, adapted to carry a 10-foot container. Szczęśniak is the platform’s distributor in Poland (Ukraine Becomes a User of Finnish Sisu GTP 4×4 Vehicles).

- 8×8 platform for the Gladius Unmanned Reconnaissance-Strike System: an armored carrier with a four-person cab equipped with an NBC filtration and ventilation system, designed to transport 5-, 15- and 20-foot containers and fitted with a winch, self-sealing fuel tank and onboard diagnostics. Displayed at the WB Group booth (WB Group demonstrates Gladius BSP-U to Sweden).
- Scania R520 8×8 for the Swedish Armed Forces: a heavy recovery and technical rescue vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 52 t and a 520 hp engine. The project is being carried out under a direct contract with FMV, with 45 vehicles ordered to date (Eurosatory 2026: Szczęśniak Special Vehicles presents Scania R520 8×8 HZ heavy recovery vehicle).

Displayed at the Scania booth (The Polish Armed Forces are acquiring additional truck-mounted excavators).
- Renault D15 4×4: a medium rescue and firefighting vehicle operated by the Military Fire Protection Service to provide fire safety for the MSPO exhibition grounds.
Expanding international cooperation and the role of integrator
The projects on display highlight the growing importance of the Scandinavian market in the company’s activities. Szczęśniak is developing its partnership with Sisu Auto in distribution, engineering and production of special-purpose variants, delivering technical rescue vehicles to Sweden’s FMV agency and supplying specialized airport rescue and firefighting vehicles to Finnish airport operator Finavia.
The broad scope of these projects confirms the transformation of the company’s capabilities — from a manufacturer responsible for individual vehicle bodies to an integrator responsible for selecting and adapting the chassis, integrating armored cabs and special equipment, and preparing complete vehicles for integration with mission systems.
“This year’s MSPO is a very good illustration of the range of capabilities we have built. Across several displays, visitors can see our solutions on platforms ranging from 4×4 vehicles to heavy 8×8 platforms, intended for the Polish Armed Forces, the Swedish Armed Forces and developing military systems. Increasingly, we are responsible not for a single element, but for the entire solution – from sourcing and adapting the base platform, through integration of the cab and equipment, to the bodywork and preparation of the vehicle for integration with the mission system. At the same time, we are expanding international cooperation, particularly in the Scandinavian market, where we want to be not only a supplier, but also an engineering and production partner,” – emphasized Grzegorz Szczęśniak, President of the company.
