Off-road tanker Man HX77

Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles

In 2006 MAN Nutzfahrzeuge and HMK BILCON developed the MAN HX77 off-road tanker as a prototype for the Danish Military. The HX77 truck from MAN is designed for
severe off-road conditions and therefore it was necessary to develop a very robust tank solution without compromising HMK BILCONS lightweight tank design.

Currently the Danish army has received the first batch of this tank truck and a number of other potential customers have already shown their interest for this unique product.

Eagle 4 (front hoods)

General Dynamics European Land Systems MOWAG

In 2006 the Danish army signed a contract with GDELS MOWAG for 90 EAGLE IV vehicles. That same year GDELS MOWAG, HMK BILCON and the Danish Enterprise and Construction Agency (DECA) signed an Industrial Cooperation Contract (ICC) for the offset production of front hoods and cargo modules for the EAGLE IVs.

Since 2006, when the first of the 90 front hoods were delivered to the Danish Army, HMK Bilcon has received orders for additional front hoods for the German Army. We were chosen because we were able to meet GDELS requirements for high quality, flexibility and on-time delivery.
