Last year’s competitively awarded five-year requirements contract was valued at $263.2 million for an estimated 466 trailers and associated logistics products and support services.
Under the first delivery order, valued at $37.6 million, Oshkosh Defense was to produce five test trailers for product verification and operational testing, logistics, engineering, and 68 production trailers.
EHETS is designed to be pulled by the HET A1 currently in service with the US Army.
The combined HET A1 and EHETS trailer system is intended to self-load and unload and can haul a payload of up to 90 tons.
