Oshkosh Bags $13m Delivery Order From US Army

ABR Staff Writer Published 21 February 2010

Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh, has won a delivery order valued $13m to supply around 35 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT) to the Army Reserve from US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC).

Built with maximum common parts across its variants, HEMTT has a 13-ton payload and off-road capability with drivetrain; improved suspension; a fully air-conditioned and armor-ready cab. The variants included in the order include M984A4 wreckers and M1120A4 load handling systems (LHS), the company said.

Oshkosh claims that it has produced around 70,000 military-class vehicles at its facilities, including more than 30,000 FHTVs and has the capacity to deliver the FHTV order and other vehicle orders for all Army and Defense programs, including the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) and Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV), and any surges in production.

Production of HEMTT is expected to begin in September 2010, and be completed in June 2011.
