The new Global HET is a high-performance, 6×6 transport vehicle with a 70t payload capability and is capable of transporting a main battle tank, armoured vehicles, construction and other equipment.

The vehicle will help the UAE military reduce the wear on equipment and crew fatigue that occurs when travelling long distances.

The details of the agreement have not been disclosed, however, the initial purchase of Global HETs is likely to take place by early 2012.
