A section of the procurement will be funded from Germany’s pandemic recovery package.

In a statement, Rheinmetall said: “Dedicated to the twin modern imperatives of security and mobility, the Düsseldorf-based Rheinmetall Group is thus playing a significant role in modernising the Bundeswehr’s fleet of logistic vehicles, which numbers thousands of trucks.

“Most of the principal components, including the engines, axles, transmissions and build-ons, are made in Germany; assembly of the vehicles takes place at the RMMV plant in Vienna.”

Last month, Rheinmetall secured another framework contract to supply tank ammunition with a combined sales volume of up to €556m to Bundeswehr.
