Texelis Teams Up with Advanced Armoured Engineering for Groundbreaking Collaboration!
On the brink of World Defense Show 2024 in Riyadh, Texelis and Advanced Armoured Engineering (AAE) have formally announced a new alliance to collaborate on creating innovative land defense solutions for their clientele.
Texelis is a provider of mobility innovations for military and heavy-duty vehicles. It has been supplying mechanical components like axles for many years, primarily for the French Army, its predominant client, as well as for international markets. In 2017, Texelis secured a contract to furnish the French Army with 4×4 armored vehicles in partnership with Nexter.

Building on that achievement, Texelis is currently providing comprehensive mobility solutions for OEMs and other stakeholders aiming to create new vehicles or associated services within the 12-18t sector. Launched under the label CELERIS, this offering amalgamates already established and validated hardware and software kits, alongside full assistance and documentation to construct an entirely new vehicle based on the CELERIS mobility framework, facilitate necessary modifications, and support it throughout its operational lifespan.
Texelis’ CELERIS proposition serves as an exceptional option for clients seeking high-performance mobility, which commercial chassis fail to provide, without the inconveniences, costs, and delays associated with developing an in-house solution.
Looking ahead to expand this offering, and to enhance its services to clients and partners, Texelis aims to deepen its understanding of the technical complexities of adapting and integrating various protection solutions.

Advanced Armour Engineering (AAE) is a supplier of armored steel-based survivability solutions for heavy military vehicles which they market to the global vehicle OEM community, complementing Texelis’ mobility platform solution.
Through the new alliance with AAE, Texelis will capitalize on AAE’s knowledge and insight and will collaborate on integrating AAE’s armored solutions into Texelis’ platforms, thereby developing new processes and offerings.
Texelis’ and AAE’s combined solutions present an excellent opportunity for new or existing manufacturers to create new ranges and construct new vehicles from the ground up in record time.
Abdon Castro, Commercial Director of AAE remarked: “This strategic alliance with Texelis provides to manufacturers of military vehicles a significant opportunity to seamlessly integrate a comprehensive proven mobility platform utilized by European armed forces with our solutions designed to employ high-grade and latest-generation armor steel to jointly meet the evolving needs of end users while developing advanced solutions for heavy military vehicles”
Sébastien Guillon, Sales Director for Texelis, commented: “Texelis firmly believes in collaborations. One never achieves greatness alone, as evidenced by the amazing team we assembled to create CELERIS. We sought a reliable partner to further refine our solution, and this is precisely what we found in AAE. Collaborating with AAE will facilitate our access to regions where they are well-established, such as the Middle East. We will also engage in joint promotion and future product development to enhance value for our clients and partners”.
