The vehicle is set for static firing trials in December 1998. Moving firing trials involving a fully-integrated fire-control system are set to start during the middle of 1999. The CV90120 weighs 25-tonne gross, with expansion to 27 tonnes. It is powered by a Scania DS14 445kW diesel engine, which gives it a maximum speed of 70 km per hour.
