Leonardo acquires Iveco Defence Business
Change
Leonardo completed the €1.6bn acquisition of Iveco Group’s Defence Business.
Why it matters
Leonardo now owns 100% of IDV Group and the vehicle-manufacturing capabilities spun out of Iveco. The company must integrate its electronics, command-and-control, electro-optics and turret systems with the acquired tracked and wheeled platforms. This requires consolidating operations across six manufacturing sites, seven R&D centres, and managing about 2,000 employees and 12 commercial offices.
Implications
- • Enables Leonardo to offer end-to-end land platforms combining mobility and payload through integrated electronics and vehicle systems.
- • Strengthens Leonardo’s competitive position in land-defence markets by adding tracked and wheeled platform capabilities.
