The FMTV supports Army and National Guard units at home and abroad in combat operations, relief efforts, unit-resupply missions and other functions. The FMTV is a series of 17 models ranging from 2.5-ton to 10-ton payloads. Vehicles have a parts commonality of more than 80 percent, resulting in streamlined maintenance, training, sustainment and overall cost efficiency.
Oshkosh has more than 90 years of experience mobilizing the U.S. military, and the company is the only supplier of the Army’s medium and heavy tactical wheeled vehicle fleets. Oshkosh incorporated its rigorous quality checks and production standards into its work on the FMTV program to ensure delivery of high-quality trucks and trailers.
This is the latest order under the five-year FMTV contract awarded to Oshkosh Defense for the production of trucks and trailers, as well as support services and training, through calendar year 2015. The order is valued at more than $904 million and deliveries are scheduled to be completed in June 2013.
