Hyundai Rotem plan to build EU tank hub in Poland takes shape

Hyundai Rotem's plan to develop Poland as a European hub for K2 tank assembly, component manufacturing and sustainment has advanced alongside local industrial incentives and technology-transfer preparations. The second Polish contract covers 180 K2 tanks, including 64 K2PL vehicles scheduled for 2028–2030; three K2PL units are to be built in South Korea for validation and 61 assembled at Bumar-Łabędy in Gliwice. Polish companies are preparing production tooling, parts manufacture and maintenance support, with local K2PL manufacturing targeted to start in 2028. The hub remains under development, rather than an already established export production line operating at full capacity.
