Steyr Motors AG Steyr Motors conquers the UGV market – engine technology powers autonomous ground vehicles | Steyr Motors AG / Key word(s): Incoming Orders Steyr Motors conquers the UGV market – engine technology powers autonomous ground vehicles Steyr, Austria, 12 June 2026 – Steyr Motors AG (ISIN AT0000A3FW25), one of the world’s leading companies in the field of customized engines for mission-critical defense and civil applications, is further expanding its position in the rapidly growing market for autonomous systems. Following successful deployments in the field of unmanned surface vehicles (USV), Steyr Motors’ technology is now also being integrated into state-of-the-art unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). The CORNUS UGV, developed by the Slovenian specialist RTC, will be powered by a Steyr Motors engine in the future. The modular platform has been designed for demanding operations in military and security-relevant environments and can be flexibly configured for a wide range of missions. Whether used for logistics transport in rough terrain, as a mobile power station in the field, or for reconnaissance missions – such applications require extremely compact, fail-safe, and application-specific propulsion solutions capable of delivering uncompromising performance even under extreme thermal and mechanical loads. “The integration of our engine into RTC’s CORNUS platform is an important and forward-looking example for Steyr Motors of how our engines, developed for highly critical defense applications, can optimally support the rapidly growing UGV segment. Unmanned systems demand maximum resilience. The technological DNA that makes our propulsion systems so successful in marine applications and protected vehicles now also provides autonomous land systems with the necessary power and reliability,” says Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors AG. The strategic importance of autonomous systems is becoming increasingly evident. Recently, the rescue of the crew of a downed U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz attracted attention.
