As one of the world's leading drive manufacturers, DEUTZ has decades of experience in demanding off-highway segments. Our engines and drive systems have to perform reliably every day under extremely varied conditions – whether in agriculture, construction or mining. These sectors place the highest demands on robustness, durability and performance stability: machines must start reliably, operate continuously under load and deliver their full performance even in dusty, hot or humid environments.

This comprehensive experience in the agricultural and construction machinery sector forms the basis for DEUTZ's ability to confidently meet the complex requirements of the defence sector. The technological expertise we develop for our civilian applications – from efficient combustion engines and hybrid drive solutions to alternative energy sources – can also be transferred to military applications. This is because the challenges are similar: maximum reliability, high availability, global deployability and a maintenance-friendly, robust design.

The proven dual-use capability of our products enables us to meet the needs of civilian industries and to provide high-quality drive systems for safety-related applications. DEUTZ thus combines technological excellence with a deep understanding of real-world applications, creating a powerful foundation for current and future requirements.

With its plants in Cologne and Ulm, DEUTZ has extensive production capacities that enable highly flexible industrial scaling. With an annual production of well over 100,000 engines, the company can supply both conventional and alternative drive systems for military platforms in large quantities – quickly, reliably and on demand, even when demand is high.

As a scaling partner, DEUTZ can also grant other companies access to its global production and service network. These partnerships enable a rapid and efficient response to growing demands. A successful example of this cooperation is the partnership with ARX Robotics at the DEUTZ site in Ulm. Key advantages include:

• Comprehensive production landscape: DEUTZ has an established industrial infrastructure with all essential core processes under one roof – from logistics and mechanical production to assembly, test benches, painting and final inspection.
• Engineering and industrialization expertise: Our decades of engineering expertise enable rapid adaptation and efficient industrialization of new products. 
• High level of technical vertical integration: Thanks to its manufacturing expertise in key processes, DEUTZ can respond quickly to changes in demand and reduce dependencies.
• Automotive standards in quality: Existing processes meet automotive requirements in terms of quality and process reliability, enabling scalable and robust series production launches.
