At Eurosatory, one of the world’s leading defence and security exhibitions, Daimler Truck will present its broad portfolio of defence mobility solutions. The manufacturer will showcase solutions ranging from traditional military logistics and frontline mobility and defence technologies to truck-based air defence and autonomous systems.
Dennis Kinzelmann, CEO Daimler Truck Defence: “With our strong industrial base, Daimler Truck has the capacity to integrate military variants into our large-scale production at any time and deliver them quickly and in significant volumes.”
Arocs 4463AK 8x8/4
The Arocs 4463AK has been designed as a heavy-duty tractor unit for military transport and deployment missions. The vehicle on display features a protected cab developed by KNDS. The exhibit is a prototype equipped with ballistic, mine and IED protection. Integrated systems include a CBRN overpressure filtration system, a roof-mounted weapon station mount, an intercom system and a camera-based rear-view system.
The cab is manufactured using a hot-forming process and robotic welding technology, enabling precise and efficient production while reducing weight without compromising structural strength.
The vehicle is also equipped with a heavy-duty fifth-wheel coupling, a dual HPC winch system rated at 25 tonnes each, and a central tyre inflation system. With a gross combination weight of up to 250 tonnes, the platform is ideally suited for the transport and recovery of heavy military vehicles.
Arocs 2736A 6x6
The Arocs 2736A is equipped with a TSD body and a HIAB MULTILIFT Ultima 21S hooklift system, providing a versatile logistics solution for a wide range of transport missions. This configuration enables the rapid exchange of various containers and mission modules, supporting a high degree of operational flexibility in military logistics operations.
Zetros 3848A 8x8
With the Zetros 3848A, Daimler Truck presents a heavy-duty, highly off-road-capable platform featuring a steered rear axle for the integration of complex mission systems. The vehicle is equipped with a 20-foot container frame and carries the Valhalla reconnaissance, counter-UAS and air defence system called SKYTHUNDER 300.
The SKYTHUNDER 300 includes three radars and electro-optical sights from HENSOLDT, a remotely operated weapon station equipped with a Dillon Aero weapon system, and a primary weapon system from Northrop Grumman - Bushmaster Chain Guns. In addition, the system is fitted with the Land – LGR4 Laser Guided Weapon System, an air-defense rockets system developed by Arnold Defense.
Zetros 2648A 6x6
The Zetros 2648A serves as one of the base vehicles for the current PL6T program being delivered jointly by Daimler Truck and Arquus to the French Armed Forces. The platform functions as a highly mobile logistics vehicle for the transport of equipment and the support of network-enabled operations.
The exhibited vehicle features a cargo platform capable of accommodating both 10-foot and 15-foot containers via twist-lock interfaces. It is equipped with three Quantum Systems Drone Ports, demonstrating the increasing integration of unmanned aerial systems into military logistics and reconnaissance operations.
Zetros 2048A 4x4
The Zetros 2048A serves as a highly mobile off-road carrier platform for the integration of unmanned and networked systems. The vehicle on display is equipped with a torsion-free 10-foot container frame and features ASELSAN’s advanced SARP Remotely Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS), providing enhanced situational awareness, precise engagement capability, and force protection. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a Helsing-developed multi-launch system that enables the deployment of multiple HX-2 medium-range loitering munitions as part of a networked intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike capability.
Unimog U 5023 Four-Stretcher Ambulance by WAS
The displayed Unimog U 5023 combines the renowned off-road capability of the Unimog platform with a WAS ambulance body designed to transport up to four stretcher patients.
The vehicle has been developed for operation in demanding climatic and infrastructural conditions and features a cold-climate package, a fording depth of up to 1,200 millimetres, and a dedicated government and military specification. The combination of the ambulance body and the robust chassis enables casualty evacuation even in remote and difficult terrain.
Special Chassis FGA 14.8
The Special Chassis FGA 14.8 serves as a highly mobile base platform for customer-specific military applications. Equipped with portal axles, coil springs, single tyres and an integrated central tyre inflation system, the chassis combines outstanding off-road mobility with a robust design.
The exhibited version has been prepared for the integration of a protected vehicle body, highlighting the versatility of modular vehicle concepts for a wide range of mission requirements. In the lightweight configuration on display, featuring aluminium wheels and aluminium bumpers among other weight-saving measures, payload capacity is further increased.
GEREON (by ARX Robotics)
With GEREON, Daimler Truck presents an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) developed by ARX Robotics for transport, support and logistics missions.
The system can be operated either manually or autonomously and offers a payload capacity of up to 500 kilograms. Thanks to its modular design, GEREON can be configured for a wide range of mission profiles and supports armed forces in automating logistics processes within the operational environment.
