FAUN TRACKWAY® COMPLETE DENMARK ORDER
The Trackway® team have handed over the last unit of a 16 unit order to the Danish Armed Forces.
In less than a year, FAUN Trackway® have gone from receiving the order to implementing the final delivery, which is an achievement that we are very proud of.
The process started in November 2012, with product demonstrations, before the tender became available in June 2013. We received the final order in February 2014 and now, under a year later, all of the systems are in Denmark.
Four Medium Ground Mobility System - Beam Dispenser (MGMS BD) were developed specifically for Denmark after we were asked to create an adaptable product that would be compatible with the class 30 Trackway® the force already held in its inventory. The MGMS-BD LITE has been manufactured to facilitate the rapid deployment and collection of our Trackway® – aluminium panels which are capable of withstanding loads of up to 30 tonnes, to help vehicles traverse difficult terrain.
As part of the order, the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) also ordered nine Trackracks – a specially designed launch, recover, transportation and storage system for FAUN’s Trackway® panels - and three Spoolracks - which are designed to store and transport additional lengths of Trackway®.
Royal Engineers from the British Armed Forces were sent to Denmark for four weeks to train 30 members of the Danish Army on our Medium Ground Mobility System - Beam Dispenser (MGMS BD) systems.
On behalf of everyone at FAUN Trackway® I would like to thank the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation and the Danish Armed Forces for the great working relationship that we’ve enjoyed, particularly with Lars Schmidt, Lars Andressen and Henrik Juncher. We wish you all the best for the future and hope our products will enjoy a key place in the inventory of the Danish armed forces for decades to comeChris Kendall, President at FAUN Trackway USA, Inc.
