With the order, Oshkosh Defense is said to have received orders for 1,412 FMTV A2s and 800 FMTV trailers for a total order value of $627 million to date.

The FMTV A2 is a modernized version of the FMTV A1P2, offering increased force protection, greater payload capacity, superior off-road mobility, enhanced engine power, and an upgraded electrical system.

We’re confident that we are delivering the best performing medium tactical vehicle in the world.”
