The armaments companies Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) want to repair the defective Puma infantry fighting vehicles in the next two to three weeks.
The companies announced this in a joint statement on Wednesday.
Some of the tanks have been examined for the exact damage patterns since Wednesday at the Rheinmetall Unterlüß site in Lower Saxony, among other places.
Experts from KMW and Rheinmetall have been sent to the Bundeswehr locations where other Puma vehicles are located, it said.
"All efforts are now directed towards repairing the vehicles in the next two to three weeks," the companies explained.
Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht had previously given the industry a tight window of opportunity to repair the failed Puma tank.
"I'll give them a few weeks.
Because I need reliable systems and not ones that I might be able to use sometime in 2025," the SPD politician told Deutschlandfunk on Wednesday.
Over the weekend it became known that all 18 of the tanks used during a firing exercise by the Bundeswehr for participation in the NATO intervention force VJTF had failed.
The tracked vehicle, plagued by numerous technical problems, was only declared fit for combat last year.
