According to the report, Rolls-Royce will provide 350 mtu Series 199 engines for new Boxer armored wheeled vehicles for the German Armed Forces and other international customers. The orders were placed by Rheinmetall and KNDS Deutschland.
The report stated that each engine is an 8-cylinder unit with a power output of either 530 kilowatts (710 horsepower) or 600 kilowatts (805 horsepower). The delivery of the first vehicles is scheduled for the first half of 2026.
The report said that Boxer is an eight –wheeled modular vehicle with mission-specific modules mounted on a standard drive platform. It said that this design has allowed rapid development of multiple variants for European and non-European armies.
The report added that all Boxer vehicles, more than 2,000 ordered or delivered, are powered by mtu 8V199 engines.
According to Rolls-Royce, the mtu Series 199 has become one of the most widely used engine programs for military land vehicles, with more than 4,500 engines delivered to NATO and allied forces.
In addition to the report, this approach is intended to simplify engine replacement within vehicle fleets, reduce the complexity of spare parts inventory and supply chains, and enable faster, more efficient field maintenance.
