The gap between concept vehicle and fieldable solution is where most defense exhibitions get stuck. At Eurosatory 2026, we set out to close it. Over five days in Paris, discussions with customers, OEMs, armed forces, and industry partners kept returning to the same question: When does next-generation military mobility become real? Our answer was on display. ➡️ The HSWL 076, the first drive-by-wire-capable transmission approved for road use that could be deployed by NATO forces. Developed in less than two years for the 10-to-20-tonne vehicle class, it demonstrates how digital vehicle control can enable remote operations today and pave the way for autonomous capabilities tomorrow. ➡️ Together with Patria, we presented a heavy UGV concept that turns this vision into a tangible operational capability. ➡️ With the ESM 280, we showcased RENK’s entry into military wheeled vehicle drivetrains, extending our proven expertise beyond tracked platforms. ➡️ Our Horstman team highlighted advanced survivability technologies, including the battle-proven InArm® hydropneumatic suspension system and the Hydrostrut® energy-absorbing strut, both designed to enhance mobility, protection, and mission readiness for modern land platforms. What connects all these solutions is a shared ambition: delivering an integrated mobility ecosystem. Proven drivetrains, digital control architectures, advanced suspension technologies, and lifecycle support working together to meet the demands of future land operations. Another highlight was welcoming David Matei, one of Germany’s leading defence voices, to our booth for an insightful exchange on the future of military mobility. A big thank you to everyone who visited us in Paris and to the entire RENK team for making this week a success. Military mobility is accelerating. The demand for digital control readiness, hybrid integration, survivability, and autonomous capabilities is growing faster than ever. RENK is ready to help shape that future.
