Rolls-Royce and FFG Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft, with the support of transmission specialist ZF, are jointly developing a concept for the long-term and economical repowering of the Wisent 1 support vehicle and all variants of the Leopard 1 family. The plan is to replace the existing mtu MB838 engine, which is no longer in production, with a more modern mtu 8V199 engine. This project, which both companies presented at the RÜ.NET user forum in Koblenz, offers the opportunity to modernise the vehicles in line with current requirements, while at the same time improving their performance.
