Load handling equipment specialist Hiab has signed an agreement to supply Munich, Germany-headquartered Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) with up to 4,000 Multilift hooklifts by 2027. This would have a value of more than €180 million (US$218 million), said Hiab. The initial order, booked in 2020, is for 540 units.

Beyond the change of tone and approach from a new U.S. administration, several key strategic and energy decisions could determine Turkey’s direction for years to come.
