OSHKOSH, Wis., Jan. 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Defense Department's Defense Logistics Agency has contracted Oshkosh Corp. to deliver spare parts for armored all terrain vehicles and tactical trucks.
Wisconsin-based Oshkosh announced it was selected by the Defense Logistics Agency for four awards to provide the military with mine-resistant, ambush-protected all-terrain vehicle spare parts including engines and transmissions among other requirements.
The more than $89 million contract also includes parts for the company's Heavy Equipment Transporter and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck deployed by the military. The awards are part of an effort to ensure the M-ATVs and tactical trucks operating in military theaters remain stocked with mission critical vehicle components for ongoing operational readiness.
According to a news release Oshkosh is "providing the M-ATV spare parts to the Defense Logistics Agency to be used as in-the-field replacements after the original vehicle parts have been consumed."
