Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ALSN) announced it will supply fully automatic transmissions to General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) for approximately 3,000 EAGLE V armored vehicles ordered by the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). The contract also includes an option for up to 2,000 additional vehicles.

The order covers both EAGLE V 4x4 command and control vehicles and EAGLE V 6x6 medium armored ambulance vehicles. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027 and will be handled through Sterki AG, Allison's authorized dealer and distributor in Switzerland.
