UK Minister for Defence Procurement, Jeremy Quin, has formally opened the new Boxer Armoured Vehicle Production Facility in advance of first-stage production commencement.
The Minister has watched a live demonstration of the latest Boxer variant - the Boxer Bridge-layer - which incorporates bridge sections manufactured by WFEL personnel in Stockport.
The UK decided to re-join the Boxer programme in 2018. Since then has committed £2.3 billion to deliver over 500 vehicles to the British Army. They will be made up of four variants: Infantry Carrier, Specialist Carrier, Command Vehicle and Ambulance.
