Logistics for the German Army – UTF & WLS

Rheinmetall's HX vehicle family forms the foundation for both WLS (Swap-body Systems) and UTF (Unprotected Transport Vehicles) as the backbone of the German Armed Forces. Specifically designed for military use, they offer excellent mobility even in difficult terrain. The wide distribution of the HX vehicles around the world brings major advantages when it comes to interoperability and logistics. Among other countries, the circle of user nations now includes Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary and Denmark. In cooperation with the armed forces of Germany and other partner nations, Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles is eager to write new chapters in the success story surrounding the company’s tried-and-tested HX vehicles.

Rheinmetall HX2 – Professional high-mobility logistics
The WLS known in German as “Wechselladersysteme” is implemented on an HX 8x8. The vehicle's hook loading system (supplied by Hiab) is used to operate swap-body platforms (WLP, “Wechselladepritsche”) or multi-capable containers. Containers with a size of 20 feet can be transported via various ISO interfaces. Other systems such as the ROSY smoke protection system or the FLW 100 remote-controlled weapon station can also be attached to the vehicle.
