100th Boxer vehicle rolls off the production line
The UK’s Boxer programme has reached a significant milestone with the delivery of the 100th Boxer Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV) to the UK Ministry of Defence.
The vehicles are procured through OCCAR and delivered via the ARTEC consortium, which brings together KNDS and Rheinmetall, working alongside the National Armaments Director Group (NAD Group) and the British Army.
The Boxer is providing the British Army with a highly protected, modular and adaptable vehicle that will form a key element of the Army’s future warfighting capability. Its modular design allows for a wide range of mission-specific configurations, including a troop-carrying variant, an ambulance, a command vehicle, and a specialist carrier.
The vehicle is manufactured in the UK at RBSL’s facility in Telford and KNDS UK in Stockport, supported by a supply chain that spans the breadth of the country and sustains hundreds of highly skilled British jobs.

Martyn Williams, senior responsible owner for Boxer at the NAD Group, said: “The delivery of the 100th Boxer to the UK Ministry of Defence is a significant milestone and reflects the tremendous work done by OCCAR, ARTEC, KNDS, Rheinmetall, the NAD Group and wider MOD to establish two UK Boxer production lines and the broad supply chains across the UK. The international collaboration through OCCAR and ARTEC has seen technology transfer to the UK, building on the UK’s proud history of armoured vehicle manufacturing.”
Reaching 100 vehicles is the result of sustained collaboration between the NAD Group, the Army and industry partners. The programme continues to support sovereign skills and engineering expertise and embed a resilient UK supply chain.
Rebecca Richards, managing director of Rheinmetall UK, added: “Reaching the 100-vehicle milestone is a significant achievement for the teams delivering Boxer in the UK. It reflects the dedication and expertise of our workforce, suppliers and partners, whose contribution is helping to build long-term manufacturing capacity and strengthen sovereign industrial capability. Boxer is creating lasting skills and investment while delivering a world-class capability for the British Army and supporting prosperity across the UK.”
Tony Webb, operations director at KNDS UK, said: “The delivery of the 100th Boxer vehicle demonstrates the value of long-term investment in sovereign defence capability and the strength of the UK’s defence industrial base. Programmes such as Boxer sustain critical skills, support SMEs across a resilient national supply chain and drive investment in advanced manufacturing.”
