OTOKAR unveiled a new 6×6 Medium-2 UGV for Romania, jointly developed with Romanian BlueSpace and Turkish UGV developer Elektroland at the BSDA2026 exhibition.
OTOKAR unveiled a 6×6 UGV for rough terrain as an offer to the Romanian Army during the BSDA2026 defence exhibition held in Romania’s capital, Bucharest. The UGV was developed under a tri-lateral cooperation involving OTOKAR and Elektroland from Türkiye and BlueSpace from Romania.
Elektroland is understood to be responsible for the mechanical design of the UGV’s drivetrain as a firm specialising in flexible wheel systems, which was demonstrated on the identical BOĞAÇ 6×6 UGV. This configuration mainly allows better performance on rough terrain and handling at slope.
It is not a big surprise that OTOKAR’s new UGV takes this approach, considering the overall geography of Romania, consisting of mountainous regions and hills.
The UGV, likely belonging to the Medium-2 class that can mount considerably larger payloads than Medium-1 class ones, but are still smaller than heavy UGVs like OTOKAR’s ALPAR.
The unveiling of a new UGV cooperatively developed with the Romanian industry is another that OTOKAR envisions its cooperation with Romania as something beyond local production. Alongside expanding further into the European market with a Romania-based node, the cooperation with the Romanian industry is set to birth new products that can answer the needs of the European customer profile.
