The scope of delivery includes HSWL 256C transmissions and final drives for the KF41 Lynx. RENK said the vehicle, already introduced in Hungary, is being introduced in large numbers by other European armed forces.
“With the extension of our framework agreement, we are consistently continuing our successful partnership with Rheinmetall. The KF41 Lynx is one of the most state-of-the-art tracked vehicles worldwide and has already been introduced in Hungary as an infantry fighting vehicle. RENK provides the core transmission technology that powers the vehicle,” said Michael Masur, CEO Vehicle Mobility Solutions at RENK GmbH.
“For us, strengthening Europe’s defense capabilities is both a goal and a responsibility,” Masur said. RENK described the extended agreement as part of its contribution to Europe’s defence industrial capacity.
The company said the extension underlines the importance of efficient European supply chains for the defence industry. RENK said it has expanded production capacity early to meet growing demand reliably over the long term.
