Sofia Larsson started as a summer worker at BAE Systems Hägglunds five years ago and is now a key person in pushing the company's combat vehicles to their limits, according to official sources. Her career journey has been marked by heavy vehicles and a role as an outward face for the rolling industry. The test area Nordanås has undergone a total transformation over the past two years, with the surface almost empty two years ago but now containing several newly built halls on a total area of 50,000 square meters.
According to SVT Mittnytt, Sofia Larsson described the rapid growth in her department, which now has over thirty employees, making her feel like a veteran despite her age as new colleagues arrive rapidly. She has become an important outward face for the company, often representing Hägglunds at international trade shows and events, where she shares her knowledge about the vehicles' capabilities in terrain. The specific combat vehicles being tested at Nordanås and the exact number of employees at BAE Systems Hägglunds overall are not detailed in available reports.
It has happened so incredibly much over these years. When I started in my department, we weren't that many, but now we are over thirty people.
Additionally, the international trade shows or events Sofia Larsson has attended and the specific knowledge she shares about vehicle capabilities remain unspecified, as does her view on the war industry she is part of.
It's fun to be able to show the breadth of all of us who work here.
