Mowag AG, KREUZLINGEN, Switzerland: At the end of November, the Kreuzlingen-based technology enterprise MOWAG GmbH received an order from the German Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH, Kassel (RLS) for the production of 100 DURO IIIP basic vehicles.
RLS will mount user-specific mission modules on the vehicles. In the German Bundeswehr, the DURO IIIP is intended to replace existing soft-skinned vehicles currently in service and will in that way provide German troops with greater protection when deployed in harm's way. The ordered basic vehicles will be delivered from the end of 2006 until 2008.
After the first delivery of 31 DURO IIIP in the years 2004 and 2005, this is the second contract with the German Bundeswehr.
The DURO IIIP is a state-of-the-art 6×6 multipurpose wheeled armoured vehicle in the weight class of 12 tons with protection against ballistic threats, integrated anti-landmine protection and enough space for up to ten crewmembers.
Within the German Bundeswehr the delivered DUROs are in successful operation among other in peacekeeping mission
