Navistar Defense Lands First Canadian Military Contract
Jan 12, 2009 2:12 PM
Navistar Defense, LLC received its first Canadian military contract to date to provide the Canadian Department of National Defence with Military Commercial off the Shelf (MILCOTS) vehicles. The vehicles are the first element of Canada’s Medium Support Vehicle System (MSVS) project, which will invest in medium-sized logistics trucks to support domestic operations and sustain deployed forces.
The $231 million award will provide up to 1,300 vehicles and utilize the Canadian organization and dealer network of Navistar Canada, Inc for training, delivery, parts and maintenance support.
This award positions the company well for future opportunities under MSVS, such as the replacement of Standard Military Pattern (SMP) medium lift trucks and trailers. As part of the MSVS project, SMP replacement is estimated to be more than 1,500 units.
