The Haller Group is bringing together its long-standing expertise in defence and security solutions within its new business unit, Haller Defence. The aim is to develop fully integrated defence capabilities based on proven dual-use technologies. A key milestone in this strategy is the ‘Titan A8’ modular vehicle platform, which serves as a universal reference.

The Haller Group is taking the next strategic step in its corporate development by establishing the Haller Defence business unit. The new unit brings together all existing activities in the defence sector and will initially be run as an internal business unit. A spin-off as an independent company is already planned for the end of the year.

The company is built on a solid foundation. With over 60 years’ experience as a long-standing maintenance and service partner to the German Armed Forces, the Haller Group possesses in-depth expertise in military structures, logistics processes and specific operational requirements. Through Haller Defence, the Group is now expanding its military portfolio to become a software-driven integrator of complex defence systems.

The focus is on combining state-of-the-art zero-emission vehicle technology, artificial intelligence and circular energy systems to deliver next-generation defence and security solutions. By leveraging the Group’s existing solutions, such as those in the fields of alternative propulsion systems, software and energy infrastructure, Haller Defence can significantly accelerate the development of new systems.

Haller Defence combines fully emission-free propulsion technologies (clean and silent) with a highly resilient digital ecosystem. The portfolio is divided into four strategic core areas:

• Tactical mobility: The vehicle range spans from light tactical units to heavy, armoured logistics trucks (4×4 to 10×10) with ballistic protection (level 3–6). Thanks to alternative propulsion systems, operational forces benefit from significant operational advantages, including a reduced thermal and acoustic signature, as well as silent ‘Silent Watch’ mode.
• Modular energy infrastructure: As a self-sufficient energy source, the Energy Cube ensures the operational readiness of critical systems, ranging from field hospitals and radar stations to command centres. The integration of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) energy management ensures maximum reliability during stand-alone operation.
• AI & digital defence: This is the digital core of Haller Defence. The software stack combines in the Haller Battlefield Operating System (HBOS), amongst other things, AI-based mission and decision-making systems, autonomous driving and navigation (including in GPS-denied environments), swarm and cooperative intelligence, as well as defence telematics and secure data layers. The hardware-independent software solutions are demonstrated using Titan A8.
• Comprehensive lifecycle support: To ensure long-term operational readiness, Haller Defence offers a full range of services, from on-site maintenance and cyber hardening to software updates, retrofits and mid-life upgrades for existing fleets.

All technologies are designed to function cohesively in land, air, water and stationary operational scenarios.

At the heart of this technological development lies the Titan A8 project. This is a modular platform for heavy, highly mobile specialist vehicles in the defence and dual-use sectors. The Titan A8 serves as a universal reference and demonstration platform. By utilising solutions from the Haller Group and its partners, it demonstrates technological capabilities and system integration:

• Haller Defence: Acts as the central system integrator
• Haller Technology: Use of a shielded 3-megawatt PowerCube™
• QUANTRON: Integration of a zero-emission battery-electric powertrain (clean and silent) into the heavy-duty platform
• ROQIT: Embedding of an autonomous control stack
• Axon Vision: Integration of the AV defence system as an all-in-one solution for detecting and countering drones
• Haller Service: Lifecycle management with proven maintenance and service processes from the start.

The platform’s modular design makes it possible to flexibly accommodate different operational requirements and to rapidly further develop or adapt existing components.

“The key difference is that we’re not starting from scratch,” explains Andreas Haller, CEO of the Haller Group. “We’re drawing on existing technologies, structures and operational expertise within the Group and bringing them together in a targeted manner. The Titan A8 demonstrates our ability to develop complex systems using existing building blocks, enabling us to respond quickly, efficiently and flexibly to new requirements.”

The Haller Group will announce further details regarding its organisational structure and future partnerships later this year.

Haller Defence is the Haller Group’s specialist unit for next-generation defence and security solutions. The company positions itself as an integrator that focuses on comprehensive defence capabilities rather than isolated individual products. By leveraging a robust network of European and international partnerships and synergies from the civilian sector (dual-use), Haller Defence offers technologically advanced and rapidly deployable solutions for modern armed forces.

Augsburg, 28. January 2026

With the official launch of Haller Capital, a new independent platform for sustainable corporate, asset and infrastructure financing enters the market. Haller Capital specifically addresses small and medium-sized enterprises, municipalities and fleet operators that face the challenge of transforming their mobility and infrastructure while lacking the balance sheet strength required for high upfront investments.

Haller Capital combines capital markets expertise with industrial execution capabilities and works closely with strong international partners. The platform’s objective is to enable real-world transformation that is economically viable, scalable and attractive for investors.

To mark its market entry, Haller Capital plans to launch its first product shortly: a green bond with a volume of EUR 2.5 million. The capital raised will be specifically allocated to the financing of zero-emission mobility solutions as well as the associated charging and energy infrastructure. Further financing products are currently in preparation and will be introduced gradually.

“Small and medium-sized enterprises often do not have the balance sheet capacity to absorb large investments in new mobility and infrastructure solutions. At the same time, regulatory and economic pressure to transform is increasing. This is exactly where Haller Capital comes in,” says Andreas Haller, CEO and owner of the Haller Group.

A core focus of Haller Capital is Fleet Transformation as a Service (FTaaS). Instead of traditional purchase or ownership models, vehicles, charging and energy infrastructure as well as related services are financed, owned and provided by Haller Capital under long-term rental and service agreements.

This approach consistently shifts investments from Capex to Opex. Customers benefit from predictable, usage-based cost structures, balance sheet relief and faster implementation of their transformation initiatives.

“We support our customers in managing the necessary investments so they can focus on their core operations. This makes sustainable transformation economically predictable and scalable in the long term,” says Andreas Haller.

From the outset, Haller Capital works with strong international industrial, technology and financing partners. The focus is on real, operational assets with transparent and sustainable cash flows. These include battery-electric and hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, charging and energy infrastructure, service and maintenance concepts, as well as digital control and billing solutions.

The first Green Bond marks the starting point of a scalable platform and product strategy. Over time, further bonds, structured financing solutions and fund-like vehicles are expected to follow.

Haller Capital is an independent financing and investment platform focused on Green Tech, sustainable mobility and infrastructure. As part of the Haller Group, Haller Capital enables in particular small and medium-sized enterprises to access modern technologies and real assets through structured financing solutions and as-a-service models. Haller Capital connects capital markets, industry and operational execution – together with international partners and based on real, operational assets.

The Haller Group is a family-owned industrial company in its fifth generation, founded in 1882, with more than 140 years of history and a clear focus on industrial transformation, technology and sustainable value creation.

Augsburg, 14. January 2026

The Haller Group is strategically realigning itself and consolidating its activities as a leading platform for zero-emission solutions under one roof. The aim is to establish itself as the global market leader for Fleet-Transformation-as-a-Service (FTaaS).

With the integration of QUANTRON® and the acquisition of pepper®, the Haller Group is expanding its portfolio with two key areas: the offering of new hydrogen and battery-electric commercial vehicles and the conversion of existing fleets. This portfolio is complemented by energy infrastructure, digital solutions and comprehensive financial and after-sales services – a holistic ecosystem for the sustainable transformation of the commercial vehicle sector. This new set-up creates planning security, efficient operating models and sustainable mobility solutions for customers.

A clear strategy: Fleet-Transformation-as-a-Service (FTaaS)

The Haller Group brings together strong business units under one roof, which together form a unique zero-emission ecosystem. With just one point of contact for all matters, the Fleet-Transformation-as-a-Service offering (FTaaS) enables the efficient integration of sustainable mobility solutions into the company with clear cost transparency and high predictability.

• QUANTRON® – Zero-emission trucks & buses (battery & hydrogen)
• pepper® – Electrified truck & bus drive systems for conversions (battery & hydrogen)
• Haller Technology – Energy storage solutions & infrastructure
• Haller Service – Financial services, leasing, insurance & after-sales solutions
• Haller Defence – Special vehicles & safety solutions
• ROQIT – Digital platforms, AI & connected services

The Haller Group’s FTaaS model offers customers a decisive financial advantage: innovative leasing and service concepts free up liquidity by monetising existing fleet values and converting them into modern zero-emission solutions. At the same time, thanks to reduced energy, maintenance and operating costs the customers benefit from a significantly better total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to conventional drive technologies.

The service sector in particular represents the DNA of the Haller Group: a steadily growing, highly profitable business area that focuses on customer satisfaction, efficiency and long-term partnerships.

The Haller Group operates internationally, with projects and partnerships in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia. Its asset-light business model enables it to operate globally while remaining flexible, collaborative and efficient at a regional level.

Strategic acquisition of pepper® strengthens market position

Another milestone in the new positioning is the acquisition of pepper®, the pioneer in the electrification of existing bus and commercial vehicle fleets using modular conversion kits (battery & hydrogen). With this step, the Haller Group is underlining its ambition to become the world’s largest provider of Fleet-Transformation-as-a-Service (FTaaS).

With more than 140 years of experience over five generations of the Haller family, the Haller Group is shaping the future of mobility in the commercial vehicle business: sustainably, digitally and globally, driven by innovative strength and entrepreneurial spirit.

Andreas Haller, owner and CEO of the Haller Group, points out:

„We have a responsibility to future generations to create solutions that have a real impact: clean air in our cities, sustainable industry, new jobs in the green economy and economic opportunities for entire regions. With our new structure, we are ideally positioned for strong international growth.“

Andreas Hager, new CEO of the business unit Quantron, expands:

„I am thrilled by what Quantron has built up over the past few years – a strong foundation of passion, innovative strength and a clear mission. The integration of pepper® adds additional expertise that makes us even more powerful, from new vehicles to the conversion of entire fleets. QUANTRON® and pepper® together are the perfect symbiosis of vision, speed and impact.“
