Challenge

A UK heavy armour programme required a new transmission system to support increased vehicle mass, higher torque demands, and demanding operational durability requirements. The gearbox needed to integrate into an evolving vehicle architecture while meeting tight development timelines.

Solution

Quest Global deployed a UK-based mechanical engineering team to support gearbox concept and detailed design.
