The order encompasses poppet valves and flap valves for medium- and heavy-duty truck applications. The components meet stringent Euro 7 requirements for exhaust gas valves. Full-scale delivery commences in 2026, including the supply of spare parts.

According to Rheinmetall, the new order has the potential to develop into a long-term partnership. Given the increasingly stringent emission legislation in the USA, Asia and Europe, demand for long-term support in the internal combustion engine segment is set to remain strong in future, the company noted.

As a technology development partner, Rheinmetall said it works with various engine makers to refine EGR concepts relating to new emission and CO2 standards.
