Rheinmetall is making another important contribution to strengthening NATO's European member nations: starting in late 2026, Norway will be taking delivery of almost 300 advanced TG3 MIL 8x8 military trucks worth over €150 million. The contract was signed on 31 May 2023 in Oslo by Gro Jeare, director of the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA), and Michael Wittlinger, chairman of the board of management of Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles GmbH (RMMV).
Regarding volume, it is the largest single call-off of trucks to date under the framework contract concluded between Rheinmetall, Norway, and Sweden. Earmarked for the Norwegian armed forces, the package encompasses multiple vehicle variants, including hook loader trucks, special vehicles with crane and hook loader systems as well as trailers and flatracks.
