Peru Selects Hyundai Rotem's K-808 White Tiger Armored Vehicles
The deal, valued at approximately $600M, is expected to be finalized later this month.
South Korea’s Hyundai Rotem, announced on Thursday that it has been chosen as the preferred bidder to export 30 K-808 White Tiger wheeled armored vehicles to Peru.
The deal, valued at approximately 82.8 billion won ($600 million), is expected to be finalized later this month, local media reported.
STX Engine will serve as the main contractor for the deal, overseeing the project, while Hyundai Rotem will supply the vehicles to the Peruvian Army. This marks South Korea's first export of armored vehicles to Latin America.
The K-808 is an eight-wheeled infantry transport vehicle designed for fast troop deployment and reconnaissance missions in front-line areas.
In a related development, last month South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries secured a 640.6-billion-won contract to build four warships for the Peruvian Navy in partnership with a local shipyard.
