Steyr Motors AG has finalized a framework agreement with KNDS to deliver at least 500 motor generator units (MGUs) by 2034. This contract strengthens their long-term partnership and supports the ramp-up of Leopard 2 production amid European defense modernization.

The MGUs, featuring compact 2-cylinder diesel engines, are essential for military applications such as the Leopard 2 tank and Leguan bridge-laying system. Germany's investment in its armed forces, driven by the current security landscape, highlights the significance of this agreement for enhancing operational readiness and technological capabilities in the defense sector.
