Mobile medical containers for the Bundeswehr

Rheinmetall has received an order from the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) to supply highly mobile medical facilities to the German Armed Forces. The framework agreement concluded in September 2025 has an initial call-off value of over €300 million. The first of these protected, highly mobile medical facilities, which meet NATO Role 2B standards, is scheduled to be delivered to the Bundeswehr as a series model in 2029. The systems are intended for use by the German brigade in Lithuania, among others. The contract will be implemented by Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH.

Each of the medical facilities consists of a total of eleven vehicles with associated multifunctional containers. The contract is valid until 2040 and allows for the ordering of additional systems.

The containers remain on the vehicles during operation. These are military HX trucks from Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles. This makes the medical facilities highly mobile and allows them to be deployed in national and alliance defence operations in line with the threat situation. Seriously injured personnel can thus be treated close to the front line. In terms of mobility and protection, there is currently no comparable system available in NATO.
