AM General president and CEO Andy Hove said: "These orders are examples of the significant opportunities for our diverse line of world-class light tactical vehicles to include the HMMWV and support business.
"Our focus is to assure vehicle readiness for our customers, both domestic and international. Just in these past few weeks we have been actively rolling new vehicles off the production line, on to awaiting aircraft and right into theatres of operation, in addition to maintaining and sustaining vehicles to the highest standard."
Manufactured at AM General’s Mishawaka plant in Indiana, US, the HMMWV is a four-wheel drive, light military truck that provides special-purpose shelter carriers and weapons platforms.
The air-transportable HMMWV family includes utility / cargo, shelter / armament carrier, ambulance, TOW missile carrier, and scout-reconnaissance configurations.
