Rheinmetall Cooperates with Timoney
17.10.2010 Europe
Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles GmbH (RRMV) of Munich entered into an agreement with Timoney Technology Ltd. of Gibbstown, Ireland, to cooperate in the military logistic and tactical vehicle sector.
Under a license agreement, Timoney Technology will develop and produce independent suspension systems and power trains for all new RMMV vehicles
equipped with all-wheel drive and independent suspension, including systems with two, three or four axles. Based on the Timoney power train technology in Rheinmetall’s Wisent armored transport vehicle, the result will be a new, high-mobility family of vehicles systematically designed to meet the needs of the military.
The new Wisent, an 8x8 all-wheel drive armored vehicle, is a first example of fruitful cooperation between the two companies. During intensive qualification trials conducted under the Bundeswehr’s GFF 4 procurement program, the vehicle handled superbly and, thanks to its high-performance chassis, had no problem coping with even the most challenging off-road conditions.
