Marines buy more MRAP vehicles
Filed under: Contract Awards, Mississippi, Navistar, U.S. Marine Corps, production program
The USMC awarded Navistar a contract to purchase more of their new, lighter vehicles. The contract is worth about $750 M and will buy 800 or so vehicles. The trend in recent MRAP buys has been to get smaller and less bulky vehicles for service in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Marines especially have cut back on MRAP buys and moved away from the original vehicles.
Navistar makes the MRAP in Mississippi and the press release can be found at The Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch.com site here.
