The US Army has awarded two contracts worth over $325m to Oshkosh to supply spare parts and repair kits for the MRAP all-terrain vehicles (M-ATV).

Oshkosh chairman Robert G Bohn said the M-ATV spare parts and repair kits were being produced to ensure they were available to the armed forces as operations require.
The M-ATV uses Oshkosh-patented TAK-4 independent suspension system and incorporates 16in independent wheel travel that delivers superior off-road mobility suitable for Afghanistan mountainous terrains.
Oshkosh will provide an advanced armour solution for the M-ATV in collaboration with Plasan North America, which also developed the armour system used on MRAPs and Oshkosh medium tactical vehicle replacement (MTVR) armoured cabs operating on the battlefield.
