About

Babcock DSG Ltd, acting as agent for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, awarded a single-source contract to Caterpillar Shrewsbury Limited for the repair of X200 transmissions fitted to the Bulldog Armoured Fighting Vehicle Platform.

The contract value is £12,488,000.

Allison Transmissions is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and holds proprietary rights to all drawings and specifications, which were developed with internal funding.

The X200 is a highly specialised transmission modified for this specific application.

Allison Transmissions does not perform remanufacture work directly; Caterpillar Shrewsbury Limited is the only UK agent licensed by Allison to work on its range of defence products, and thus the only supplier with access to the necessary design information, technical details, data, and knowledge.
