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.
Deliveries are expected to be complete by the end of January 2011.
