Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles has once again achieved significant success with the HX truck family. 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.”

MILLBROOK, UK – LionStrike, a team established between GM Defense, BAE Systems, and NP Aerospace yesterday demonstrated their light vehicle line up for the first time in the UK, at a VIP and media Ride and Drive event.
Showcased to invited guests at the Millbrook Proving Ground, the demonstrated vehicles are being offered to meet the requirements of the UK MoD’s Land Mobility Programme (LMP) and specifically, the lighter General Support Utility Platform (GSUP) and Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV) requirements, expected to be selected in 2026.
Team LionStrike was announced in early September 2025 followed by the GM Defense GSUP vehicle being revealed on static display at the UK DSEI exhibition later that month. Now, for the first time in UK, guests and media have had the opportunity to ride and drive and see all three variants up close and in detail. Demonstrated were three proven, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) light and utility military vehicles:
1. 2. 3. GSUP – based on the Chevrolet S10 Work Truck, delivering capacity for 4 crew, flexible and modular cab/utility configurations, 207HP diesel, and a payload of 1116 kg.
Silverado 1500 ZR2 – a light duty, more powerful variant delivering capacity for 5 crew, flexible and modular cab/utility configurations, 305HP diesel, and payload of 705kg.
Infantry Squad Vehicle- Utility (ISV-U) – based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 platform, delivering capacity for up to 5 crew, open-top utility and tactical configurations.
All three demonstrated vehicles are backed by Team LionStrike, that is focused on offering the UK MoD a mobility solution to rapidly modernise its wheeled vehicle fleet. Team LionStrike will deliver economic growth as part of the Land Industrial Strategy, and significant export growth potential. Team LionStrike is building a sustainable supply chain and delivery ecosystem in the UK. LionStrike will be supported by GM’s leading UK team members, NP Aerospace and BAE Systems and is also anchored by GM’s worldwide parts distribution system.
J.D. Johnson, vice president of GM Defense Government Solutions and Strategy, said it was an “honour” for GM Defense and its U.K.-based LionStrike team members to demonstrate their COTS-based platforms at Millbrook to invited guests.
“I truly believe that what makes Team LionStrike different is the fact that GM, with our history and proven capability, is embedded into the procurement and support solutions offered here, as the vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM),” Johnson said. “Having the OEM so intimately involved provides capability, efficiencies and crucial assurance, confidence and support to the U.K. Armed Forces, through life.”
Johnson added that the company is “very proud of what our Team LionStrike strategy and plan will bring to U.K. industry, U.K. economy and potentially, future U.K. exports.” He concluded by drawing a line from history to the present: “As we’ve prepared for this event we have been able to look back and note with pride the level of support and involvement Chevrolet and GMC trucks played in the British military campaigns dating back to World War II. That successful heritage firmly underpins what we’ve been demonstrating here today.”

The European defense organization OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en Matière d’Armement) has commissioned Artec GmbH to deliver a total of 222 Schakal infantry fighting vehicles to the armed forces of Germany and the Netherlands. This new combat vehicle combines the chassis of the Boxer wheeled armoured vehicle with the turret of the tracked Puma infantry fighting vehicle. The main contractor for the Boxer is Artec GmbH, a joint venture between Rheinmetall and KNDS Germany. 150 Schakal vehicles are to be delivered to the German Armed Forces and 72 to the Dutch Army.
The total order for the German and Dutch armies is worth €3.41 billion gross, with Rheinmetall’s share amounting to almost €3 billion. The contract also includes a logistics package containing spare parts, training materials, and specialised tools. Furthermore, it covers optional additional services such as protection against anti-tank hand weapons, firing attack detection and firing attack identification as well as drone defence. The call-off of up to 248 additional vehicles is also included as an option.
Within the German Armed Forces, the Schakal armoured infantry fighting vehicle, consisting of the 8×8 Boxer platform and the 30mm Puma turret with Rheinmetall’s MK 30-2/ABM machine gun, is the main weapon system for the Army’s newly established medium forces. The new armoured personnel carrier combines mobility, protection and firepower to the highest degree. This enables the medium forces to cover large distances at own pace within the shortest possible time. The 30mm turret allows a wide variety of targets to be effectively combated in dynamic combat situations.
Artec GmbH, a 64:36 joint venture between Rheinmetall and KNDS, is also to be the future main contractor for the RCH 155 (Remote Controlled Howitzer 155 Millimeter), yet another combination of the proven drive module of the Boxer wheeled armoured vehicle and equipped with the weapon system of the Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000.
Brevard, NC – [October 16, 2025] – In the wake of mounting disastrous events from hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, and floods and growing demand for fast-deploying field equipment, SylvanSport today announced the launch of its GO. Rapid Response tactical trailer — a next-generation of lightweight, tow-anywhere tactical hauler, trailer and shelter designed for first responders, emergency managers, defense units, and humanitarian organizations.
The debut comes one-year after Hurricane Helene devastated communities surrounding SylvanSport’s headquarters in Western North Carolina, and underscored the need for adaptable, fast-deploying equipment. When access routes failed, and power and communication grids collapsed, response teams needed versatile, self-contained systems that could move quickly and sustain operations independently.
“Living through Helene, we saw first-hand how response organizations from local fire stations all the way up to the National Guard were constrained by bulky, slow-to-deploy equipment” said Tom Dempsey, founder and CEO of SylvanSport.
GO. Rapid Response bridges that gap — it’s compact, agile, and purpose-built for missions that demand speed and flexibility. “We saw how devastating a natural disaster can be for a community and the need for equipment that can aid first responders getting into hard to reach places, Dempsey added.”
Hundreds of mission-critical applications. One VERY unique solution.
GO. Rapid Response is the incredibly versatile, go-anywhere, carry-anything tactical trailer from SylvanSport. Lightweight and towable by any vehicle in your fleet, GO. Rapid Response easily transforms from transporter to hauler to shelter — all in one self-contained unit. From dense urban centers to remote, off-grid terrain, GO. Rapid Response is ready.
“We worked with local North Carolina search and rescue teams to find out what they needed when it came to equipment when disaster strikes and started doing our own research to bring this product to life,” said Kyle Mundt, VP Product Development, SyvanSport. “It’s a very adaptable product and we’re looking forward to future technology advances to make Go. Rapid Response the tactical trailer to fit even more multifaceted needs.”
Built from high-strength aluminum with an off-road suspension and low center of gravity, it’s compact enough for tight maneuvers yet rugged enough for rough conditions. In minutes, it converts from a cargo hauler to a mobile shelter, command unit, or triage station — a multi-role platform built to move, deploy, and sustain operations anywhere.
The newest dealer to join SylvanSport in their mission to bring Go. Rapid Response to search and rescue teams is Hendrickson Fire Rescue in Islandia, NY.
“Partnering with GO. Rapid Response is a natural fit for Hendrickson Fire Rescue Equipment,” said Craig Probst, President. “Our team is dedicated to supporting fire and rescue teams with reliable, ready-to-deploy solutions, and the GO Rapid Response enhances that mission by giving departments greater flexibility and readiness when it matters most.”
The company is currently exploring additional dealers in the U.S. and Canada.

It bridges the gap between large, slow-to-deploy vehicles and makeshift field solutions, giving teams a lightweight, American-made tool for the modern response environment.
“Preparedness starts with mobility,” Dempsey added. “Our trailers are designed to go where other equipment can’t. That’s why we built GO. Rapid Response — to empower the people who run toward the crisis, not away from it.”
