ZMBŁ will acquire, among other things, production tools and equipment enabling the launch of an assembly line for K2PL tanks and accompanying vehicles in Poland.

Fortunately, we were able to deliver the entire first batch (180 units) of exports to Poland within this year. This was made possible by prioritizing exports of the quantities to be used by the Republic of Korea Army starting in 2022 and increasing production at the factories of related companies such as Hyundai Rotem.

How many tanks per month are produced by Hyundai?

How many tanks per month are produced by Hyundai?

Well, I haven't found anything officially announced yet. Based on various news reports, production was around 10 units per month, but after the Polish contract, Hyundai Rotem expanded the production line at their factory, gaining the capacity to produce more than that. Hyundai Rotem will have to produce both Poland's second batch and the South Korean Army's fourth batch going forward, so the production line won't be resting.

Hyundai Glovis has transported 124 K2 tanks and 60 K9 self-propelled howitzers to various locations in Europe, including Poland, since the first half of this year. The first time I saw Glovis' PCTC (Pure Car and Truck Carrier), I remember being overwhelmed by how enormous it was compared to the frigate I was aboard.
