Pandur EVO 6×6

Germany

The Pandur Evo 6×6 was in competition for 3 programmes:

• A new multi role vehicle as a successor to the TPz Fuchs. The main variant will be an armoured personnel carrier, and specialised variants are expected to be purchased as well. In January 2025, the Patria 6×6 won the bid, and Germany requested a first offer for 300 vehicles.
• A new mortar carrier is part of the German renewal of the indirect fire support programme. It is known as "Zukünftiges System Indirektes Feuer kleiner Reichweite" (ZukSysIndF kRw), and up to 120 such systems were expected to be purchased, and based on the TPz Fuchs successor, so potentially the Pandur Evo 6×6. As the Patria 6×6 won the bid for the TPz Fuchs successor, the Patria NEMO is likely to win this contract.
• The Korsak programme, successor of the Fennek reconnaissance vehicle saw the Pandur Evo as a potential successor. In 2024, a variant of the Piranha IV replaced the Pandur Evo offer from the GDELS group. And the Piranha is likely to win the contract.
