Rheinmetall has won a contract valued €250 million to deliver Fuchs/Fox 2 wheeled armored vehicles to an international customer.

The contract encompasses an initial supply of spare parts. Delivery will take place during the 2021-2023 timeframe, with production to be carried out in the partner’s country.
