The Slovenian government, represented by the European procurement organization
OCCAR, and ARTEC, a consortium of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and
Rheinmetall, have signed a contract for the delivery of 45 BOXER wheeled vehicles
in four different variants.
The volume of the order amounts to EUR 281.5 million. Delivery of the BOXER
vehicles is scheduled to begin in 2024 and be completed in 2026.
Now that EU and NATO member Slovenia has joined the BOXER program, it has six
user states.
Modular vehicle – versatile and proven in operation
The BOXER is a highly protected 8×8 wheeled vehicle. Its modular architecture
allows a diversity of variants like no other vehicle system. So far, approximately 1,500
vehicles in twenty different versions are under contract in the four NATO member
states Germany, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the United Kingdom. NATO partner
state Australia has opted for the BOXER as well.
ARTEC GmbH was founded in 1999 and is a joint venture between Krauss-Maffei
Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG, Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH and Rheinmetall
Defence Nederland B.V. The company coordinates series production and serves as
the point of contact for all export issues relating to the BOXER.
