British Army to get another 100 BOXER vehicles

The BOXER success story continues. The British government, represented by the European procurement organization OCCAR, and ARTEC, have signed a contract extension to supply the British Army with an additional 100 BOXER vehicles. In issuing the order, the United Kingdom is exercising an option contained in the contract signed in 2019 for the Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV) procurement project, which includes 523 BOXER wheeled armoured vehicles in several variants. The bulk of BOXER production will take place in the United Kingdom. Series production is currently getting underway in Germany, after which most of the BOXER vehicles already ordered will be produced in British factories of Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land and KMW subsidiary WFEL. The additional vehicles just ordered will also be produced in both the UK and Germany. Here, the partners will be drawing on the knowledge and components of the established and expanding British supply chain, which already forms the basis of the first lot of 523 vehicles.
