Patria/Hägglund or BSv 10 probably takes it, the nordic countries are among the few capable of producing vehicles that actually can operate in subzero conditions.
Because of the strong ties between patria and hägglunds and the desire for more cooperation with sweden I guess you are right. But who knows? Umkhonto might be considered to have been quite the outsider in the competition for a sam for the navy too.
However I do not think the singaporeans lack the capabilty to design a vehicle for subzero conditions. I do not think it is a capability thing. It is more like a set of factors that have to be considered. These are well known. But of course experiance helps. The important thing is testing. It is very likely that the bronco, was designed for broad range of environmental circumstances.
The bronco posesses some uniqe capabilties, iirc, like being able to detach the rear cab and still drive the front end. Not something a nasu or bv 206 can do.
In any case it is likely that whatever vehicle is chosen it will be licence built by patria or patriahagglunds.
