Under the orders, Oshkosh will produce new Heavy Expanded
Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) A4 tankers, cargos, wreckers, load
handling systems (LHS), Common Bridge Transports (CBT) and
Palletized Load System (PLS) A1s.
“We are extremely honored that the U.S. Army continues to call
on Oshkosh to provide our Soldiers with the only heavy tactical
vehicles proven to be rugged and flexible enough to meet the
demands of contested logistics," stated Pat Williams, chief
programs officer at Oshkosh Defense. “Having produced more than
50,000 heavy tactical vehicles for the U.S. Military and its allied
partners, these delivery orders underscore the unmatched
reliability and versatility of the Oshkosh Defense Family of Heavy
Tactical Vehicles (FHTVs).”
As part of the orders, Oshkosh will also integrate advanced
capabilities into the PLS A1 fleet through recapitalization, which
is a critical and cost-effective means to modernize the fleet,
extend vehicle life, and reduce operating costs. For decades,
Oshkosh has partnered with the U.S. Army to recapitalize over
20,000 heavy tactical vehicles and return to field operations in
zero-miles zero-hours condition, and with the same warranty of a
new vehicle.
Williams concluded, “Oshkosh is dedicated to our long-standing
partnership with the U.S. Army to modernize the Oshkosh FHTV with
new and enhanced capabilities through cost-effective and targeted
upgrades. Room for growth as both threats and requirements evolve
is key to these heavy platforms providing the payload, protection,
and mobility to support our Warfighters in future combat
environments.”
