Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles wins contract from Denmark
The Danish procurement authority FMI (Forsvarsministeriets Materiel- og Indkøbsstyrelse; Ministry of Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) ) has awarded Rheinmetall a framework agreement for the delivery of up to 1,000 HX and TG trucks. The contract was accompanied by an initial call-off for over 100 trucks. This call-off is worth in the double-digit million euro range and was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The new trucks will be procured as part of the build-up of a Danish heavy infantry brigade. Delivery of the vehicles will take place within an exceptionally short time frame. First call-offs will be delivered before end of 2027. The order also includes additional services such as maintenance, spare parts, and vehicle training. At the same occasion the sustainment contract for the existing fleet is prolonged for additional four years.
This order marks Denmark’s return to the HX family of users. It also represents a decisive strategic step toward strengthening the market position in Northern European countries and positioning the HX as the Royal Danish Army’s standard tactical truck. The new order further demonstrates the high level of acceptance enjoyed by the proven HX vehicles.
“The acquisition of new all-terrain trucks for the heavy infantry brigade is another important piece in the Army’s armament. Therefore, I am very pleased that through this contract signing, we now ensure that the soldiers within a few years will have significantly increased their combat power in their operational tasks. I am pleased to see our collaboration with Rheinmetall continue,” says head of the land division at DALO, Colonel Thomas Øgendahl Knudsen.
Andre Barthel, CEO RMMV : “With this agreement, we are proud to resume and continue our long-standing collaboration with our Danish customer. Since the early days of HX program, Denmark has been and continues to be a reliable partner and important member of the RMMV User nation Group. We look forward to further expanding this successful partnership in the coming years.”
