The US Department of Defense chooses a manufacturer of new tactical trucks for the army

Mack Defense, Navistar Defense, Oshkosh Defense and the American subsidiary of the German Rheinmetall in collaboration with GM Defense will create prototype trucks. Of these, the US Department of Defense selects the future manufacturer of new tactical trucks for the army.

This is reported by the American magazine Defense News.

The US Army has entered into deals with the companies mentioned above for a total of $24,3 million. Each team will build three prototype vehicles in three categories: a tractor, a pallet loading system and a heavy tactical truck with increased mobility.

We're going to really get to know what the industry has to offer us, and availability will be a key factor for the military to make these informed decisions.

- said the executive director of the program Brigadier General Luke Peterson.

He noted that the army is making efforts to increase the level of standardization of its fleet of tactical trucks.

The general said that this program reminds him of the events of the First World War, when the United States was first created in stories The country's armed forces special heavy duty truck for the military

Earlier it was reported that the winner of the tender will conclude a $5 billion contract with the United States Department of Defense. The reason for the modernization of the American military fleet is that the heavy trucks in service with the US Army are rapidly becoming obsolete and need to be replaced with more modern equipment.
