KNOW HOW
RENK France is located at 30 min. drive from Paris and the Charles de Gaulle airport.
At this location, on a total surface of 10,000m², our team focuses on the development, assembly, and testing of our transmissions and powerpacks. For this, advanced development tools are employed and a broad range of test benches up to 1,100kW is available.
RENK France is also an important service provider to the French armed forces, servicing all transmissions of the French Leclerc and AMX-30B2 fleets.
In recent years, RENK France acquired significant experience in international projects, both in upgrade programs of existing vehicles as well as in new production programs.
RENK France provides also to its customers, a direct support including trainings, documentations and spare parts for the maintenance of their equipment.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
RENK France, formerly known as SESM, is the French member of the RENK group.
RENK France offers transmissions and powerpacks for tracked military vehicles.
The RENK group is one of the world leaders in the field of vehicle transmissions, gear units and bearings, for a broad range of applications and industries, including power engineering, marine and military.
MAIN PRODUCTS
ESM500 – High-end powerpack for 50+ tons class vehicles
The automatic gearbox ESM500, installed in the French main battle tank Leclerc can be coupled to a maximum 1600hp engine. A complete powerpack can also be proposed for other applications like Al-Khalid or other ‘above 50 tons class’ vehicles.
- Powerpack design
- Manual and fully automatic power-shifting
- 5 speed forward – 2 speed reverse
- Infinitely variable hydrostatic steering system actuated by a steering wheel, including pivot on the spot feature
- Mechanical emergency gear shift system
- Torque converter with automatic lock-up clutch
- Secondary side heavy duty retarder
- High performance mechanical carbon-carbon service/parking brake separately mounted
- Power take-off for fan drive with full digital speed control
ESM350 – Modern powerpack for T-90 / T-72 / M-84 / PT-91 and derivatives
The ESM350 powerpack fits into the existing chassis with only minor modifications. This makes this powerpack an attractive option for new-production as well as for upgrade programs. The powerpack comprises a fully automatic power-shift transmission, a high performance cooling system designed for hot climatic conditions and an engine with a maximum power of 1200hp. Various engine options are available.
The complete powerpack can be exchanged in less than one hour in field conditions, improving the fleet availability and reducing the operating costs.
One standard powerpack can equip a complete range of vehicles, including MBT T-90/T-72 and all their derivatives ARV, AEV, AVLB, etc…
The system is equipping the new Malaysian MBT PT-91M, ARV WZT-4, AEV MID-M and AVLB Leguan (identical powerpack for the 4 applications) supplied by BUMAR, Poland.
The powerpack ESM350 is the perfect upgrade solution for the T-90 and T-72 main battle tanks, new production or modernization programs:
Superior mobility
- Top speed of 70km/h and 23km/h reverse for 50 ton vehicle
- Stop, park and start-up on 60% slope
- Increased vehicle speeds even with inexperienced drivers, especially in difficult terrain
- More intelligent use of the engine power and elimination of driver error thanks to the electronic control
Improved cooling
- Drastically increased air flow compared to conventional design
- Automatically and permanently optimized fan speed adapted to cooling needs to minimize power losses
- Engine lifetime increased thanks to stable and limited coolant temperature
Improved vehicle availability
- Better reliability of the components compared to conventional equipment
- Exchange of the powerpack for maintenance purposes in less than one hour even in field conditions
- Higher fleet availability, simplified logistics, reduced total operating costs
- Simplified maintenance and spare parts logistics
Various engine options up to 1200hp
Main features
- Powerpack design
- Manual and fully automatic power-shifting
