“Oshkosh is pleased to continue delivering highly reliable
Medium and Light Medium Tactical Vehicles to the U.S. Army,” said
Patrick Williams, Oshkosh Corporation vice president and general
manager of Army programs. “Since 2009, Oshkosh has achieved record
quality performance on the FMTV program, while far exceeding
vehicle quantities during the initial years of the contract.
Together with TACOM, we have successfully integrated more than
1,000 engineering changes (ECPs) that have improved the quality,
reliability and manufacturability of the MTVs and LMTVs.”
The current generation FMTV A1P2 is comprised of 17 models
ranging from 2.5-ton to 10-ton payloads, enabling the vehicle to
perform a wide range of missions, and to support combat missions,
relief efforts and logistics and supply operations. The Oshkosh
FMTV seamlessly integrates technologies needed on the battlefield
and in support of Homeland Security. The vehicles feature a parts
commonality of more than 80 percent, resulting in streamlined
maintenance, training, sustainment and overall cost efficiency for
the U.S. Army, Army Reserves, National Guard and U.S. Air
Force.
Oshkosh Defense was first awarded the FMTV contract in 2009 and
to date, has delivered more than 35,000 FMTV trucks and trailers
while saving U.S. taxpayers more than $2 billion. During its seven
years of FMTV production, the U.S. Department of Defense recognized
Oshkosh Defense with the Value Engineering Achievement Award (in
the Contractor category) for reducing product life-cycle costs
while improving performance and reliability. The U.S. Army
Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Life Cycle Management
Command (LCMC) nominated its Industry partner for the award based
on Oshkosh-proposed improvements that resulted in $10.7 million of
cost savings for the U.S. Army.
