Description
Rheinmetall will supply Canada with 85 8x8 HX heavy recovery vehicles under a C$325 million (US$231 million) five-year deal which will see the first vehicle delivered in 2027.
The vehicles will be supplied to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as part of the Enhanced Recovery Capability (ERC) programme and will include an additional service agreement worth C$28.9 million.
Rheinmetall Canada will replace the CAF's heavy logistic vehicle wheeled recovery fleet with 85 HX trucks, each equipped with a heavy towing and recovery module.
The HX heavy recovery vehicles also provide additional capabilities, such as an integrated rotary crane that can be used for container handling and for other crane work.
The ERC project is being led by Rheinmetall Canada supported by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles, US-based towing and recovery equipment company Miller Industries Towing Equipment and hydraulic winches and winch systems maker Rotzler Holding.
Rheinmetall's HX family of trucks have been sold to 20 customers globally including Germany, Australia, the UK, Austria, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
In July Rheinmetall MAN received a €312 million (US$334.5 million) order for 610 HX vehicles from Germany, the first placed from a framework agreement with a value of as much as €3.5 billion for up to 6,500 trucks.
