AM general president and chief executive officer Jim Cannon said the firm is well positioned to evolve the next generation JLTVs to meet mission demands across a range of military operations.

“We are humbled and honoured to receive this contract and continue our strong partnership with the US Armed Forces,” he said.

“The effort that we put into our winning proposal is testament to our commitment to serve those who serve to protect us.

“It was with the war fighters in mind that we set out to not only demonstrate our world-class manufacturing capabilities, but also to integrate innovative solutions into the JLTV so they receive the best product for their mission.”

The JLTV will be produced in a dedicated military production facility and onsite testing track at the Mishawaka Manufacturing Campus in Indiana. Vehicle enhancements may include enhanced corrosion protection and improved fuel efficiency.
