Steyr Motors AG, an Austrian manufacturer of specialized engines for defense and civilian applications, has been awarded a significant development contract from a leading international defense and technology group based in Singapore. The contract involves developing and supplying the M14TCI-120 4-cylinder engine for a new all-terrain vehicle concept, highlighting the company's role in mission-critical drive systems.
The development order includes both engine delivery and development services, with current projections indicating substantial long-term sales potential. Steyr Motors expects an order volume exceeding €20 million by 2030 from this contract alone, which surpasses previously communicated order backlogs. This reflects growing global demand for reliable drive systems in modern emergency and defense vehicles.
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors, emphasized the contract's significance, comparing it to last year's agreement with Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH. "The fact that the Singapore-based defense and technology group has placed its trust in our expertise confirms the international competitiveness of our products and our development team," Cassutti stated. He noted that the project sends a strong signal for Asian markets outside of China and establishes a foundation for additional platforms with this customer.
The M14TCI-120 engine was selected for its high power density, exceptional reliability, and extreme robustness, making it suitable for the demanding requirements of all-terrain military vehicles. Steyr Motors, headquartered in Steyr, Austria, specializes in customized engines for military vehicles, boats, and auxiliary power units.
