With the start of WWII, Husqvarna, the main Swedish motorized equipment
producer, that had brilliant successes in the 1920s-1930s, was re-oriented towards
arms production. The Swedish government wishing to support motorcycle
production within the country’s borders asked Husqvarna to create a special army
motorcycle which several companies would have been able to produce. This effort
resulted in the creation of M/42 500 cc, 3-speed motorcycle Model M/42. It was
made by Husquarna, Monarch and NV. By the war end 3000 units were
manufactured.
The Swedish company called Nymans Verkstader (NV) produced its first
motorcycle in 1926. During its period of operations the NV company produced
mostly light mototcycles with well-known engine brands, such as Eiber and DKW.

Heavy all-terrain motorcycle noteworthy when following the history of the NV
brand: supplied with a sidecar it was designed and manufactured for the Swedish
army. On the basis of the M/42 engine a V-shape OHV 990-cc motor was built. The
undercarriage consisted of a powerful pipe frame and a telescopic front fork.
Transmission was made up of the 3-speed gearbox featuring an additional two-step
divider and separate reverse option. Rear wheel drive was chain-driven and the
sidecar wheel drive was made switchable.
