Steyr Motors AG has been awarded a strategically significant development contract from a leading international defense and technology group based in Singapore. The Austrian engine manufacturer, specializing in customized engines for mission-critical defense and civilian applications, will develop and supply its M14TCI-120 4-cylinder vehicle engine for a new all-terrain vehicle concept.
The contract represents a major opportunity for Steyr Motors, with current project planning indicating significant long-term sales potential. The company expects an order volume exceeding €20 million by 2030 for engine deliveries, which surpasses previously communicated order backlog figures. This development follows another significant contract with Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH signed approximately one year ago.
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors, emphasized the importance of the collaboration, stating that it confirms the international competitiveness of the company's products and development team. The M14TCI-120 engine was selected for its combination of high power density, exceptional reliability, and extreme robustness, making it an ideal drive solution for the planned vehicle concept. The customer develops and manufactures modern land vehicles, weapon systems, ammunition solutions, and integrated mobility and protection systems for armed forces and security authorities worldwide.
Beyond the immediate financial impact, this contract carries strategic importance for Steyr Motors' market positioning. The collaboration with the Singapore-based group sends a strong signal for Asian markets outside of China and solidifies Steyr Motors' role as a preferred development partner for sophisticated drive solutions in safety-related applications globally. The company anticipates this project will form the basis for further platforms with this customer.
