Failed bids
Sisu GTP was evaluated against AM General HMMWV, Otokar Cobra and Paramount Marauder in 2018 and selected as winner in a tender to supply armored vehicles for Latvian armed forces. The deal, worth about 200 million euros, was canceled in 2019 after AM General and Paramount Group complained about the procurement procedure.
