Welsh built military hardware delivered to New Zealand Defence Force

Anglesey’s Faun Trackway has delivered a military order across the world to the New Zealand Defence Force.

The company completed the delivery of its Medium Ground Mobility Systems - which help to transfer troops and equipment from ship to shore.

Training of the equipment was successfully completed by the 5th Movements Company Capability Branch at Army Bay, Whangaparaoa.

The system enables vehicles to navigate through challenging terrain by stabilising the ground conditions and allowing for a temporary and portable aluminium route.

In under six minutes, up to 40m of track can be deployed, with additional matting joined quickly and effectively to create a longer route or turning area.

Chris Kendall, chief executive officer at FAUN Trackway Limited, based in Llangefni, Anglesey, said: “We were delighted to join the 5 th Movements Company during the trials at Army Bay.

“Their professionalism led to a well-executed exercise of the FAUN Trackway Medium Ground Mobility System.

“Our constant strive for engineering excellence drives us to deliver innovative systems that truly meet the needs of modern armed forces.

“This latest system will allow the 5 th Movements Company to reinforce its over the shore capabilities.”
