The prototypes will be tested and evaluated to determine the final requirements for the next generation of trucks to ultimately begin modernization and replacement of the Army’s fleet.
American Rheinmetall Vehicles and GM Defense LLC have won a contract for the first phase of the U.S. Army’s Common Tactical Truck (CTT) Program.
Based on the commercially available Mack Granite model, the Mack Defense HDT is part of the previously announced firm-fixed price $296 million contract with the U.S. Army to be fulfilled over seven years.
The company's Beowulf vehicle can traverse snow, ice, rock, sand, mud, and swamp conditions, and can operate in steep mountain environments.
The additional vehicles are part of the firm-fixed price $296 million contract to be fulfilled over seven years that the Army awarded Mack Defense in 2018.
GM Defense will leverage the GMC Hummer EV to meet the U.S. Army’s requirement for a light- to heavy-duty battery-electric vehicle to support reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
The vehicle will be used for analysis and demonstration.
A new partnership will provide a force protection system for the Mack Granite-based truck.
The program is part of a future contract opportunity to leverage the hybrid conversion technology for tens of thousands of vehicles in military applications.
The new HDTs will help increase the U.S. Army's operational effectiveness and readiness, while supporting mobility, counter-mobility, survivability, and sustainment operations for the Joint Force.
