Israel extends Oshkosh tactical vehicle contract for defense forces
Oshkosh Defense, the manufacturer of Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV), will keep its production line open until 2025 due to new orders from Israel. The Israeli Ministry of Defense has placed two JLTV orders, one through a foreign military sale and another through a direct commercial sale. This extends the production line beyond the previously planned closure in 2024. Oshkosh has been the primary supplier of JLTVs since winning the contract in 2015 to replace the Humvee fleet. The company has also received orders from other countries, including the US Army and several European nations.
