INTRODUCTION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Timoney Technology Limited was formed as a campus company at University College Dublin in 1968 and still retains close links with the college to this day. Timoney are one of the world's leading designers of High Mobility vehicles using their class leading Independent Suspension System. In the field of Armored Vehicles, Timoney design and develop their own vehicles and work with some of the world's leading OEMs to jointly develop highly advanced wheeled armoured vehicles. In addition to building prototypes, they also carry out low volume manufacturing, with a capacity of about 40 vehicles per year. Timoney, have in the past, or are currently developing vehicles with, Beherman Demoen of Belgium, Vickers of Great Britain, ADI of Australia, STK of Singapore, ORDC of Taiwan, the Government of Tanzania, Textron Marine and Land Systems, United Defense and a consortium led by CMU and Boeing all of the U.S.A. These vehicles include the world's latest and most advanced armoured vehicles, the U. S. Army's Future Combat System -Wheeled (reportedly named Pegasus), an 8x8 AIFV from UD, and two programmes with CMU, the FCS - Unmanned (named Spinner) and the USMC's future unmanned combat vehicle (named Excalibur). Timoney have achieved considerable success in many high technology fields including the design of armored vehicles, trucks and fire/crash tenders, this is all the more remarkable when one considers it's almost complete lack of a home market (Aer Rianta being the obvious exception). In addition to armoured vehicle designs, Timoney has designed/collaborated upon many other non-military vehicles with companies such as Volvo Truck, GINAF, and E-One. There Independent Suspension system is also manufactured under license in the U.S. by Arvin-Meritor. It was announced on January 17th, 2002, that Singapore Technologies Kinetics had acquired a 25% stake in Timoney Holdings Limited, with a call option to increase it's stake to 51% expiring on March 31st, 2008, for USD 5 million. According to Sean Timoney, THL chairman, "The investment will greatly strengthen the company and enable it to further exploit it's innovative solutions in key technology areas". |
