RMMV secures framework contract from Denmark’s DALO for up to 1,000 trucks

The Danish Ministry of Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has awarded Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) a framework agreement for the delivery of up to 1,000 HX and TG trucks, Rheinmetall announced on 27 November 2025.

The contract was accompanied by an initial call-off for over 100 trucks, which 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, Rheinmetall noted, with first call-offs delivered before the end of 2027.

The order also includes additional services such as maintenance, spare parts and vehicle training. Meanwhile, the sustainment contract for Denmark’s existing truck fleet has been prolonged for additional four years.

The order announced on 27 November “marks Denmark’s return to the HX family of users”, Rheinmetall stated. “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.”

RMMV’s HX truck family is designed as a ‘military off-the-shelf’ product for extreme robustness and reliability and has been tested for a service life of over 20 years. It is available in configurations ranging from 4×4 to 10×10 and is one of the most widely used commercial vehicles for the military, government agencies and organisations with security tasks.

HX trucks are highly manoeuvrable and, due to their widespread use – well over 20,000 units are in use worldwide, many of them in EU and NATO countries – offer significant advantages in terms of interoperability and logistics, particularly with regard to multinational operations.

“The acquisition of new all-terrain trucks for the heavy infantry brigade is another important piece in the army’s armament,” the head of the land division at DALO, Colonel Thomas Øgendahl Knudsen, was quoted as saying by Rheinmetall. “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.”

RMMV CEO Andre Barthel added, “With this agreement we are proud to resume and continue our long-standing collaboration with our Danish customer. Since the early days of the HX programme, 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.”
