HDA is building its Hanwha Armoured Vehicle Centre of Excellence (H-ACE) manufacturing in Geelong, Victoria. the facility is due to be complete in Q3 2024. It is anticipated the facility will support all Hanwha vehicle fleets and serve as an Australian industrial and SME (small to medium enterprise) base that can work with Hanwha both globally and domestically.
