France and Britain have announced the revival of industrial partnership aimed at replenishing their armed forces’ stockpiles, focusing on the SCALP/Storm Shadow long-range cruise missile.

Texelis announced yet another partner for its CELERIS 4×4 mobility solution offer.
Specifically, Texelis has been recently selected to provide Indonesian vehicle designer and manufacturer PT SSE with complete kits for its CELERIS 4×4 solution as well as a complete development and support package to customize the mobility solution for PT SSE’s needs.
According to a relevant announcement, Texelis is very proud to collaborate with PT SSE, a renowned company on the Indonesian and worldwide markets. PT SSE, or PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya, is a company specializing in designing, engineering, and manufacturing Special Mission Vehicles and it offers a complete range of vehicles, currently focused on the 4×4 range, as well as corresponding services.
The partnership between Texelis and PT SSE is also a major success for French-Indonesian relations. Both countries have been close partners for Defence for years and are actively working to reinforce their ties. The program is an evident example of that policy and has been fully supported by the French and Indonesian authorities, including the French Defence Mission at the French Embassy in Jakarta.
The GICAT (Groupement des Industries Françaises de Défense et de Sécurité terrestres et aéroterrestres – the French Land Defence and Security Industry Association) has also been a major support, both in France and in Indonesia.
That new partnership for CELERIS proves once again the value of Texelis’ offer for vehicle manufacturers looking for a high-performance, qualified, adaptable, turnkey solution for land mobility to develop or enhance their range of vehicles.

On top of the inherent quality of the kits and the level of support offered throughout the development and qualification phase, CELERIS offers a much faster process than any other solution.
Under this partnership agreement, Texelis will deliver the first kits to PT SSE in the first semester of 2024. With Texelis’ full support, integration is to be completed on the first prototype before the end of year. Deliveries of the remaining series of kits will then take place in 2025.
Under the CELERIS program, an experienced OEM manufacturer can thus produce a new prototype of an entirely new vehicle in less than a year. Qualification can then start with the full support of Texelis, which may set the full program target at 18 months from order.
That new contract for CELERIS is also an opportunity for Texelis and PT SSE to grow together as a supplier of mobility solutions and a complete systems integrator and learn from that experience to implement new partnership initiatives throughout the program.
CELERIS will also benefit from the feedback and experience of its users in Indonesia and evolve during its whole life cycle to constantly adapt to the users’ requirements and operational missions.
As an expert of mobility, Texelis firmly believes in partnerships as the right way to combine the right competence together and create new references in Defence.
