The order further extends the Oshkosh Defense production line as AM General, selected for US orders, pushes to get vehicles out the door with no room for export orders.
Oshkosh Defense will supply the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps with 150 Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicles (DXPV), a variant of the company’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV).
The DXPV will be supplied through Oshkosh Defense Europe and has been tailored to fulfil the requirements for its Future Littoral All Terrain Mobility – Patrol Vehicle (FLATM-PV).
