Following the 2015 contract to supply the Belgium Ministry of Defence (BeMOD) with over 100 FOX Rapid Reaction Vehicles (RRV), Jankel has secured a second prestigious contract with the country’s military to supply a new fleet of specialist tactical vehicles.
Press Release: Jankel specialises in fully engineered solutions that utilise commercial-off-the-shelf base platforms and meet exact military customer requirements, standards and operational needs. The contract will see Jankel execute on this specialty by using the Mercedes UNIMOG platform to deliver 199 Light Troop Transport Vehicles (LTTV) to the Belgium army.
The LTTV will be designed by Jankel’s team of engineers to provide a modular vehicle solution that will benefit from unique removable mission modules that enable the vehicle to be re-rolled for operational platform versatility. Alongside a fully integrated suite of military sub-systems that includes a removable ballistic protection kit, a Roll-Over-Protection-System (ROPS), weapon mounts and communications fit, the platform will provide full interoperability with the FOX RRV fleet.

Our team worked extremely hard on this opportunity, and I’m sure our flexibility and ability to listen and respond quickly to Customer needs helped to offer a high value-for-money proposition which ultimately secured this contract against highly regarded competition.
We are thrilled and very proud to be continuing to deliver leading tactical vehicles to BeMOD.” Jankel is committed to providing the very best equipment and capability to Military Forces around the world, with a strong company heritage of innovation, delivery and through life support.
