QinetiQ and RENK Group AG, a leading supplier of military and civilian propulsion solutions have signed a strategic partnership agreement that will see the two companies jointly develop future mobility concepts for military land platforms in the weight class of 5 to 60 tons. The partnership will focus on advanced hybridisation concepts and uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs).
The cooperation with QinetiQ is a decisive step for us to further expand our technology leadership and to increase future growth potential. We are thus well positioned to meet the growing demands of our customers in the area of armored mobility
