Muskegon, Michigan, June 26, 2026 – RENK America has been awarded a 5-year follow-on IDIQ production contract by the Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) for the HMPT 800 transmission. This is the fourth award in a series of multi-year contracts and has a potential maximum value of up to $691 million USD over the next 5 years. RENK America has proudly delivered more than 4,500 transmissions since the THOR partnership began, supporting the growth and sustainment of the U.S. Army’s medium tracked vehicle fleet.
As a trusted partner to the U.S. military for more than a century, RENK America continues to play a vital role in sustaining the mobility systems that keep mission-critical vehicles operational and ready to deploy when called upon. The company’s HMPT transmission has supported vehicles like the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) for decades, as well as the U.S. Army’s newest vehicle platform, the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV), delivering the reliability and performance required in demanding operational environments.
“Readiness begins with a resilient and responsive industrial base,” said Corey Johnson, CEO of RENK America. “This award reflects the trust placed in our team and our proven ability to deliver the HMPT transmissions and support our customers need to sustain the fleet. Every transmission we deliver contributes to the dependability and availability of the platforms that our Warfighters depend on around the world.”
