MTU submits order for the supply of starter generators. Jenoptik`s total share in the new infantry fighting vehicle for the German Army will be approx. 70 million euros.

The new fiscal year for Jenoptik’ Defense & Civil Systems division is starting with a major order. In February Jenoptik was awarded the contract by its longstanding development and project partner MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH to supply a total of 405 starter generators as well as other key electrical subsystems for the PUMA. Delivery will commence during the course of this year and continue up to 2020. With this big partial order Jenoptik received slightly more than half of the expected volume of the PUMA order which amounts in total to approx. 70 million euros. Jenoptik expects the remaining approx. 30 million euros to be awarded in the current year. The amount of 70 million euros does not include service and maintenance for the entire service life of the PUMA infantry fighting vehicle. These will be awarded and invoiced separately, in addition to the supply of subsystems.
