Dedicado a los imperativos modernos gemelos de seguridad y movilidad, el Grupo Rheinmetall con sede en D\u00fcsseldorf est\u00e1 desempe\u00f1ando un papel importante en la modernizaci\u00f3n de la flota de veh\u00edculos log\u00edsticos de la Bundeswehr, que cuenta con miles de camiones. Particularmente cuando se trata de operaciones multinacionales, el amplio uso de veh\u00edculos RMMV ofrece grandes ventajas en lo que respecta a interoperabilidad y log\u00edstica. Entre otras, las fuerzas armadas del Reino Unido, Australia, Nueva Zelanda y Dinamarca dependen hoy de los camiones de Rheinmetall.\u00a0Noruega y Suecia tambi\u00e9n han realizado importantes pedidos de camiones a RMMV.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s Federal Office for Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-service Support, or BAAINBw, has placed an order with Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) for a further 1,401 military trucks with a gross total value of \u20ac543 million. The trucks come under the Bundeswehr rubric of Unprotected Transport Vehicles, or UTFs. Funding for the extra procurement of a thousand of these vehicles comes from the German federal government\u2019s pandemic recovery package. Delivery is scheduled to take place in 2021 and 2022. A framework contract for the procurement of modern military trucks signed in July 2017, which originally envisaged the purchase of 2,271 vehicles, has now been augmented to enable procurement of a further 1,000 trucks, bringing the current total to 3,271 UTFs.<\/p>\n
A current call-off from the original framework contract comprises a total of 292 5-tonne trucks and 109 15-tonne trucks. Including related services, the 401 vehicles in this call-off come to \u20ac154 million, including value added tax. Delivery is to be complete by the end of 2021. Furthermore, another 1,000 trucks \u2013 including 150 5-tonne vehicles and 850 15-tonne models \u2013 are to be purchased in 2021 and 2022. They represent sales of \u20ac389 million, including VAT. Funding will come from the German government\u2019s economic recovery package, with delivery to be complete by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n
Dedicated to the twin modern imperatives of security and mobility, the D\u00fcsseldorf-based Rheinmetall Group is thus playing a significant role in modernizing the Bundeswehr\u2019s fleet of logistic vehicles, which numbers thousands of trucks. Most of the principal components \u2013 including the engines, axles, transmissions and build-ons \u2013 are made in Germany; assembly of the vehicles takes place at the RMMV plant in Vienna.<\/p>\n
Particularly when it comes to multinational operations, the wide use of RMMV vehicles offers major advantages when it comes to interoperability and logistics. Among others, the armed forces of the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark all rely today on trucks from Rheinmetall. Norway and Sweden have each placed substantial truck orders with RMMV as well.<\/p>\n
