Rheinmetall (ISIN DE0007030009) received a new order covering 69 Schakal wheeled infantry fighting vehicles for Germany and the Netherlands on October 29, 2026. According to Rheinmetall, the contract value for the company is in the medium three-digit million-euro range.

Order adds 69 vehicles

The European defence organization OCCAR commissioned Artec GmbH to deliver 35 vehicles to the Bundeswehr and 34 to the Royal Dutch Land Forces. Artec is a joint venture between Rheinmetall and KNDS Deutschland, with Rheinmetall serving as a key industrial partner.

The vehicles are planned for delivery between May 2032 and November 2033. The call-off raises the total Schakal program to 291 vehicles, compared with 222 vehicles covered by the main contract awarded in October 2025.

What does the expansion change?

The order adds confirmed volume to Rheinmetall's 8x8 vehicle business, while the long delivery schedule places the financial contribution well beyond the next reporting date. The Schakal combines the Boxer chassis with the Puma turret and uses Rheinmetall's MK 30-2/ABM weapon system.

Next dates on the calendar

Rheinmetall's investor-relations calendar lists the third-quarter 2026 report for November 5, 2026, followed by the Capital Markets Day from November 25 to November 27, 2026, according to the company's Investor Relations page.
