Hydrema to do final assembly on Piranha 5 to the Danish Armed Forces

News

November 16, 2017
HYDREMA and GDELS-Mowag have agreed to enter into a contract for final assembly of the new Piranha 5 vehicles for the Danish Armed Forces.

It is a 5 year contract for final assembly in Stovring, and will mean increased activity at Hydrema in the coming years. The contract scope is final assembly on over 290 vehicles. Work will commence immediately and first deliveries from Stovring to the Danish Armed Forces will be in the second quarter of 2018.

Hydrema considers this contract as the start of a long-term cooperation with GDELS-Mowag in Switzerland.  For the same contract GDELS-Mowag has placed already an order for Dozer blades with Hydrema. The first dozer blades have been delivered for customer testing.

HYDREMA’s CEO Jan Werner Jensen, who is also Chairman of the Danish Defense and Security Industries Association, says:

“This is the first step in a hopefully, long-term strategic cooperation between GDELS-Mowag and HYDREMA. We are of course proud to be chosen and are fully committed to deliver to the Danish Armed Forces on time. With the close relationship to the Danish Armed Forces, it makes sense for HYDREMA to work with GDELS-Mowag and expand our DALO portfolio of services and material.  A role that we are happy to carry out as a strategic partner for GDELS-Mowag.

Hydrema at PlantWorx

PlantWorx is the UK's largest working construction equipment show, with live machine demonstrations alongside the exhibition stands. We took our low ground pressure articulated dump trucks to the 2023 and 2025 shows. At PlantWorx 2023 in Peterborough we showed the 707G, 912G and 922G. In 2025 the show moved to Newark Showground, and on stand EA-09 the 912G and 922G were joined by the fully electric DT6, our compact dumper for urban sites and low-emission zones.

Hydrema at Hillhead

Hillhead is the UK's largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition. It is held every two years at Hillhead Quarry near Buxton, with live machine demonstrations in the quarry. Hydrema has exhibited its articulated dump trucks on stand V13. In 2026 we brought the new DT22 to the UK for the first time, alongside the 912G. The MX17G was on the stand too, the first Hydrema wheeled excavator shown at a UK exhibition. In 2024 the electric DT6 made its UK debut next to the 912G and 922G.
