Rheinmetall Unveils New TGS-Mil Protected Truck to Meet Modern Battlefield Demands

Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) has unveiled its latest innovation in military logistics—the TGS-Mil Protected truck—during the first-ever RMMV Mobility Days in Vienna. Designed for modern battlefield environments and operational versatility, this new armored truck brings modular protection and powerful performance to military supply chains and tactical transport.

Built at RMMV’s Vienna facility, the TGS-Mil Protected is based on the latest TG-generation military truck platform. It comes in both 6×6 and 8×8 configurations and is equipped with a fully protected cabin capable of shielding two occupants against ballistic threats, in line with current NATO standards.

The vehicle’s modular design allows operators to configure the truck for a wide range of missions. From changing the level of armor protection to integrating different communications systems and mission-specific payloads, the TGS-Mil Protected is tailored to support peacekeeping, combat logistics, humanitarian missions, and more. The company highlighted that both protected and unprotected variants can be deployed using the same basic system architecture—offering military forces the flexibility to harmonize fleets and reduce long-term operational costs.

Under the hood, the truck is powered by a robust MAN D2676 six-cylinder diesel engine that generates up to 520 horsepower and 2,650 Nm of torque. It supports multiple emission standards—Euro II, Euro V, and Euro VIe—and is compatible with NATO-standard fuel F34. This makes the TGS-Mil both globally operable and highly sustainable across different operational theaters.

One of the standout features of the TGS-Mil is its use of proven commercial vehicle components. This strategic choice ensures that the truck benefits from an existing global service network and simplifies maintenance logistics—a crucial factor in long-term deployments.

RMMV presented the truck during Mobility Days 2025 under the theme “Innovation in Motion.” The event drew around 120 participants from 22 countries, offering them hands-on exposure to the TGS-Mil and other RMMV platforms like the HX series. Factory tours at the Vienna-Liesing production site showcased new logistics systems and digitised manufacturing setups that can now support production of up to 4,000 HX and TG vehicles annually.

Attendees also witnessed live demonstrations of the vehicle family’s off-road capabilities and got a glimpse into the future of military mobility, including developments in tele-operated and autonomous driving technologies.

As the competence centre for military logistics within Rheinmetall’s Vehicle Systems Division, RMMV continues to push the boundaries of operational effectiveness. With Rheinmetall AG holding a 51% stake and MAN Truck & Bus SE owning 49%, the Munich-based joint venture leverages over a century of combined military truck manufacturing experience. The TGS-Mil Protected truck stands as the latest testament to that legacy—robust, flexible, and ready for tomorrow’s missions.
