The Norwegian army is armed with 164 CV9030N (Strf 9030) infantry fighting vehicles, specially designed for Norway. The index 30 indicates that the car is armed with a Bushmaster II 30 mm automatic cannon instead of the Bofors L70 40 mm standard 40 mm automatic cannon. In addition, the Norwegian version differs from the Swedish version of the CV9040 with a more powerful 605 hp engine and an additional landing commander's hatch on the right side in the aft part of the BMP.
