Oshkosh Defense has received $232 million in orders from the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) for the delivery of Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTVs).
The contract covers the manufacture of new Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) A4 tankers, cargo vehicles, wreckers, load handling systems (LHS), Common Bridge Transports (CBT), and Palletized Load System (PLS) A1s. These vehicles are integral to the Army's logistics operations, offering rugged and flexible solutions in challenging environments.
In addition to producing new vehicles, Oshkosh will integrate advanced capabilities into the PLS A1 fleet through recapitalization. This process is a cost-effective method to modernize the fleet, extend vehicle life, and reduce operating costs.
