The trucks will support the development of a Danish heavy infantry brigade, with deliveries scheduled to begin before the end of 2027. The agreement also covers maintenance, spare parts, vehicle training, and a four-year extension of the sustainment contract for the existing fleet.
The deal marks Denmark’s return to the HX family of users and strengthens Rheinmetall’s position in Northern Europe. It also supports Denmark’s aim to adopt the HX as the Royal Danish Army’s standard tactical truck.
“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, said: “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.”
Rheinmetall describes the HX2 family as a “military off-the-shelf” range designed for durability and performance across demanding environments, with configurations from 4×4 to 10×10. More than 20,000 HX vehicles are in service worldwide with users including the United Kingdom, Australia, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary, Singapore, Slovenia, Denmark, and Ukraine.
