Valued at $23 Million
Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), has been awarded a delivery order from the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) for more than 45 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) A4s.

The Oshkosh HEMTT’s 13-ton payload and off-road capabilities make it the backbone for the U.S. Army‘s logistics fleet. Since its introduction in 1985, the HEMTT has helped keep the Army on the move during major conflicts such as Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. The HEMTT’s recent improvements to create the new A4 include: a fully air-conditioned and armor-ready cab; more powerful drivetrain; improved suspension; and other structural changes to make installation of add-on-armor in the field quicker and easier.
The HEMTT is a part of the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV), which also includes the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) and Palletized Load System (PLS). Oshkosh Defense has produced and delivered more than 30,000 HET, PLS and HEMTT vehicles under the FHTV contracts, and was the first manufacturer to supply the Army with Long Term Armor Strategy (LTAS)-compliant cabs.
