| Source measurement | The Leonidas-2 represented an effort made by the Greek vehicle manufacturer ELVO to produce an advanced armoured personnel carrier (APC) of its own. It is named after Leonidas , king of the ancient city-state of Sparta . The first version of the Leonidas was the Austrian Saurer 4K 4FA armoured personnel carrier built with minor modifications by the Greek company (then known as Steyr Hellas S.A.) from 1981 until 1987. Initial production was essentially assembly, however Greek content progressively increased. The APC had a 320 hp engine and a weight of 14.8 tons.[source]ELVO Leonidas-2 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The new version had a weight of 18.8 tons and it used a 450 hp engine; maximum speed was 70 km/h.[source]ELVO Leonidas-2 · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
