The Redback is Hanwha’s newest tracked vehicle which was
selected to be Australia’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle of the future
following rigorous competition with other industry leaders. The
advanced vehicle weighs over 40 tons, includes a 30 mm cannon and
anti-tank missiles, while carrying 11 soldiers.
“Allison has partnered with Hanwha in South Korea for more than
25 years,” said Dana Pittard, Allison Transmission’s Vice President
for Defense Programs. “With their latest announcements in Asia,
Europe and Africa, Hanwha has become one of Allison’s largest
global Defense customers in both wheeled and tracked
applications.”
Hanwha has utilized over 4,000 Allison transmissions in various
tracked and wheeled applications for the South Korean Army and
numerous NATO/European, Asian and North African partners. Nearly
half of those transmissions have powered the K9 Self Propelled
Howitzer family of vehicles. With the Redback striving to duplicate
the success of the K9, Son Jaeil, President and CEO Hanwha
Aerospace said they intend to “target advanced markets such as
Europe and Australia.”
Penske Australia & New Zealand has been an Allison
Authorized Distributor for more than 70 years servicing Allison
transmissions using trained technicians and genuine parts. With
initial delivery of the Redback scheduled for 2027, Penske will
service the X1100 cross-drive transmissions locally, saving
significant time and costs for the Australian Defence Force.
