US Army awards contracts to build new Common Tactical Truck

The U.S. Army needs new trucks. The service wants to replace its aging Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles with more affordable models based on commercial designs.
To build its new Common Tactical Truck (CTT), the Army awarded four contracts to different companies to build prototypes. Each team will construct variants of the Army’s M915 Line Haul Tractor and M1088 Medium Tractors, as well as a new Palletized Load System and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck.
The four contracts were given to Mack Defense, Navistar Defense, Oshkosh Defense and an American Rheinmetall and General Motors Defense team. The total price of all four contracts was $24.3 million.
Unlike Humvees or MRAPs, which are mostly used for troop transport, the Army uses CTTs to haul larger equipment or other items. Think of CTTs as the semitrucks of the Army.
