Sweden originally planned for a mix of CV9040 and CV9025, tests of the 25mm turret being carried out on on an Ikv91 chassis, but finally decided on the 40 mm version, due to the much higher potential of the larger calibre.[citation needed] Other customers seems to have focused on the higher rate of fire and the larger amount of ammunition that the 25 mm brings.
