[2.7K] Pansarbil fm/29 is a Swedish made light armoured car which served the Swedish armed forces inbetween 1930-1945 and it was primarly used as a experimental vehicle for various of tests conducted by the Armed forces. Till the start of the 1940’s, when it was also introduced as a “Driving school car” for the K1 Regiment (K1 Livgardets dragoner Regementet) for new potential drivers for the m/39 and m/40 armoured cars. Even late as 1946, the Pbil fm/29 was still on the vehicle records of the Swedish Armed Forces.

Pansarbil fm/29
Gun: 37 mm cannon w/1898
MG: 2 x machine gun w/14-29
Crew: 4-5
Speed: 60 km/h
Constructed: 1930
No. built: 1
Pansarbil fm/29 was first introduced to the Swedish Armed forces in 1927. When the Goverment permitted a 10 Thousand SEK budget (Which is equallent to around 300000 SEK (or 30 thousand USD) in today’s value), in a attempt to find a provisional solution to design a domestic “armoured car tactic”. The original plan was to import foreign armoured cars and incorporate them to the Armed forces. However, there were no suitable foreign design to solve the demad. And so the Swedish Armed Forces opted for a domestic design and production of armoured cars within Swedish Territory.
One of the main requirements for the design of the armoured car, compared to the others which were produced in Tidaholm (Pansarbil fm/25 and fm/26 4): Were the ability to be able to drive off-terrain in certain scenarios. The Pavesi P4/100 Artillery tractors were initally purchased from Italy as a reference for the design of the vehicle. The Chassis design were handed to the “Artilleridepartementets konstruktionsavdelning” at KAF (Kungliga Arméförvaltningen), in which the final drawings of the design was completed in July 1930. The task of proucing said Chassis however, was handed over to AB Landsverk, which had it’s background in the construction of railway carriages, elevators and even pumping stations. By June 1931, the chassis for the armoued car was completed
Pansarbil fm/29 has two stearing wheels, meaning it can drive up to 60km/h in both directions.
However, at the same time as AB Landsverk was done with the Chassis. The construction/production of the armoured protection and hull of the vehicle was being made at the Manufacture Department of the “Artilleridepartementet”. This armored body consisted of riveted plates (or regular industry steel) with a thickness of around 4-6mm. Bofors also helped with the design by giving the armoured plates angles in order to improve the overall protection. The wheels of the armoued car was also protected by the riveted plates. Due to it’s abnormal design of the vehicle, many compared it as a glossy monster than a actual armoured car.
About Arsenalen:
The Swedish Tank Museum – Showing the military vehicle development, as well as the military history of Sweden, from the early 20th century until today. The museum also includes a very special exhibition of tin figures, as well as a soldier’s croft dating back to the 17th century, where an accompanying exhibition tells you about a bygone era.
The museum was inaugurated June 17, 2011 and is open year round. Run by a private foundation – Foundation Södermanland Military History collections. The vehicles belong to the Swedish Government – the Swedish National Museums of Military History. The vehicles were previously located to the Tank Museum in Axvall and Military Vehicle Museum in Malmköping. The collection includes about 350 vehicles, of which about 75 are on display in the museum. Some parts of the exhibition changes each year.
Beside the museum there is an original soldiers croft from late 19th century with an accompanying exhibition, The Soldier and the Croft. An exhibition about the history of the local Regiment (Södermanland regiment) tell the story from 14thcentury until 2005 when the regiment was closed. The figure museum is a private collection which previously existed as a museum in Hjortnäs in Dalarna.
