At GDELS, military mobility is our mission.
Claim – Mission – VisionWe are dedicated to protecting those who protect us!
Minimizing risk while maximizing operational performance
Thirty-five years after the end of the Cold War, our Western way of life, our open societies, and freedoms are once again under attack. With increasing geopolitical confrontations, new threats force us to rethink and reinforce our defense and security architecture.
In any crisis, speed is the decisive factor:
The speed to detect threats.
The speed to decide on relevant measures.
The speed to assemble appropriate forces wherever they are required.
Present-day military conflicts require innovative yet pragmatic solutions. GDELS’ vehicle systems are guided by two interdependent factors: modularity and weight.
Common Base Platform
According to the 2021 CEPA Report on Military Mobility, most civil bridges and a significant number of national and transnational roads in Europe cannot support heavy vehicles above MLC 50*.
GDELS’ vehicles are designed on a common base platform with a maximum weight of 50 tons - ensuring mobility without compromising firepower and protection. When infrastructural limitations become insurmountable, GDELS provides solutions through a comprehensive portfolio of mobile bridges.

- Trust, Reliability, and Operational Excellence
Strong, long-term relationships are based on trust. Reliability earns trust over time. Resulting from decades of experience in designing mobile military solutions, all of GDELS’ vehicles are embedded in a proven Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul concept, including an advanced tool capable of monitoring the systems’ performance in real time - ensuring highest operational availability at minimum life cycle cost. Every day, our partners depend and rely on our excellent service. We support them wherever they need to operate and under any conditions.
- Modularity and Interoperability
At GDELS, we look at the bigger picture. We know that the success of our troops depends on their ability to operate jointly on the battlefield in a synchronized and interoperable environment. Our open vehicle architecture and system-of-systems approach allow for the integration of customer- and mission-specific technologies as they become available.
GDELS ensures seamless integration of legacy, new, and next-generation vehicles within a multi-domain capable network, enabling a high level of interoperability between combat units of different nationalities and across coalition forces such as NATO.
- Urgency, Flexibility and Availability
Customers and military end users require reliable capabilities quickly, at a fair price, and in large quantities. While Europe and NATO are fundamentally redefining their capability requirements, GDELS’ incrementally evolved and readily available product portfolio is perfectly suited to swiftly address quantitative shortfalls with proven solutions.
We Enable Military Mobility
Every day, men and women in uniform around the world rely on our combat vehicles and mobile bridge and ferry systems. We provide them with the mobility, protection, and firepower they need to accomplish their mission and return home safely.
Today and tomorrow.
