Penske Power Systems and Force Ordnance showcased wares at this year’s Land Forces.

Penske displayed MTU engines and Allison Transmission solutions, including an MTU 8V199TE20 engine and an Allison Transmission 4800 cutaway, which are fitted in the Rheinmetall Boxer vehicle selected to replace the ASLAV under the Land 400 phase II project.

The display also included an MTU 6V199TE20 engine which is fitted in the M113AS4 armoured personnel carrier.

“Penske Power Systems is pleased to exhibit our MTU and Allison Transmission products at Land Forces this week,” Matt Grech, Land and Aero Systems Manager, Penske Power Systems, said.

“Taking part in Land Forces provided an opportunity for us to communicate about our products, technologies, and capabilities, directly to our customer base and in line with existing and future business opportunities.

“Land Forces also provides an opportunity to collaborate with prime contractors, the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), the Department of Defence, uniform and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) – all within the one location, which we find invaluable.”

Separately, Dr Ray Dennis was joined by Defence SA leaders including Senator David Fawcett, Senator for South Australia and Assistant Minister for Defence, and Sir Angus Houston, Chair of the Defence South Australia Advisory Board, to outline the delivery plan for FORCE ORDNANCE products.

These comprise small arms and working arrangements in new manufacturing partnerships.
