Modern armed forces are increasingly dependent on highly mobile and protected logistic and tactical vehicles to ensure operational effectiveness and survivability in today’s dynamic threat environment. As recent conflicts have demonstrated, logistic supply lines and support vehicles are no longer shielded from direct attack. The proliferation of drone warfare, roadside explosives, and ambush tactics has elevated the need to equip military trucks with modular armor and advanced survivability systems. The TGS-Mil Protected directly responds to this reality by integrating scalable protection solutions within a versatile mobility platform, allowing operators to adapt to escalating threat levels without compromising mission tempo.

Designed with a modular philosophy, the TGS-Mil Protected adapts easily to a wide range of mission-specific requirements. Its modularity supports scalable protection levels, flexible integration of communication systems, and the addition of various payload configurations tailored to operational needs. By offering both protected and unprotected versions under a single system architecture, RMMV aims to reduce logistical complexity, streamline fleet management, and lower long-term operational costs for its customers worldwide.

The vehicle is powered by a robust MAN D2676 six-cylinder diesel engine capable of delivering up to 382 kW (520 hp) and 2,650 Nm of torque. Compliant with Euro II, V, and VIe standards and fully compatible with NATO-standard F34 fuel, the engine is paired with a drivetrain built from field-proven commercial components. This approach ensures high levels of reliability, simplified maintenance, and cost-effective support across global theaters of operation. The all-wheel drive configuration further enhances its off-road performance, making it suitable for deployment in rugged and high-risk environments.

The TGS-Mil Protected reflects RMMV’s strategic response to shifting geopolitical dynamics and rising global demand for protected mobility in logistic operations. As part of the broader RMMV product ecosystem, it complements the company’s HX vehicle family while offering new capabilities in survivability and adaptability. During the Mobility Days event, which gathered 120 delegates from 22 nations, RMMV showcased the truck’s agility on an off-road demonstration site, alongside future-focused concepts such as tele-operated and autonomous driving technologies.

Production of the new model will take place at RMMV’s upgraded Vienna-Liesing facility, where digitised manufacturing systems and advanced logistics infrastructure are now in place to support an annual output of up to 4,000 HX and TG vehicles. This capability underpins Rheinmetall’s ambition to remain a global leader in tactical and logistic land mobility platforms, building on a century-long heritage of military truck design and innovation.
