Steyr Motors secures additional orders from customer Defenture – new
record order backlog in sight
• Steyr Motors M16 diesel engine as the core power unit in new
international major contracts
• Order increase in the multi-million-euro range through 2027
• New record order backlog expected
Steyr, Austria, 16 July 2025 – Steyr Motors AG ([1]ISIN AT0000A3FW25), one
of the world’s leading companies in the field of customized engines for
mission-critical defense and civil applications, is further expanding its
successful partnership with Dutch vehicle manufacturer Defenture. The
company is benefiting from several new international major contracts,
under which Steyr Motors’ M16 diesel engine continues to serve as the
central power unit.
Through the exclusive and custom-tailored engine supply to Defenture,
Steyr Motors is not only intensifying its existing collaboration with the
customer but also securing additional orders worth millions of euros
through 2027. The new contracts from Defenture include vehicles for the
Austrian special forces unit Jagdkommando, Polish special forces, as well
as Germany’s Special Forces Command (KSK), where four prototypes are
currently undergoing operational testing and follow-up orders are in
preparation.
At the core of the collaboration with Defenture is the close technical
coordination to adapt the propulsion solutions to the specific operational
requirements of the deployed units. The flexibility and reliability of the
Steyr M16 engine have once again proven to be key success factors.
“This expansion of orders confirms the international confidence in our
engine technology and underscores our position as a reliable partner in
the field of military special-purpose propulsion systems. Furthermore,
this follow-up order demonstrates that the widely discussed ‘Zeitenwende’
– including the approved defense budgets – is beginning to translate into
tangible contracts for us. As a result, Steyr Motors is growing thanks to
close technical cooperation with existing and new customers,” emphasizes
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors.
Specific details regarding order intake and backlog development are
expected to be announced with the publication of the half-year results on
July 31, 2025. In addition to the increase in orders from Defenture, Steyr
Motors expects to receive further significant orders from existing
customers in connection with the recently announced plans of the German
Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) to procure 1,000 Leopard battle tanks and 2,500
armoured vehicles. It is already forseeable that Steyr Motors‘ order
backlog will reach a new record level.
