The German arms and automotive company, Rheinmetall, announced on Tuesday that it will begin to manufacture exhaust gas recirculation valves or EGR for a "renowned car manufacturer" that it did not name.
The contract's value, which was booked in June, is in the low three-digit million euro range, the company said in a statement.
The manufacturing process will start in January 2026 and continue for a period of six years until December 2031. The supply of spare parts has been agreed for a further 15 years after completion of valve production.
The valves will be installed in a vehicle in the manufacturer's commercial vehicle class. The recirculation of exhaust gases reduces pollutants in both petrol and diesel engines. For this purpose, exhaust gases are extracted behind the cylinders, channelled through the EGR valve and mixed back into the intake air.
