Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles Australia (RMMVA) has awarded Penske Commercial Vehicles (PCV) the contract to provide integration services and spare part supplies for a new fleet of over 2,500 medium-weight and heavy-weight military logistic vehicles.
The vehicles will be supplied by RMMVA to the Commonwealth under the Defence program Land 121 Phase 3B. The vehicles are required to undergo final installation activities as part of the overall program in Australia. Penske will also be coordinating the supply of all spare parts for the vehicles once they enter service with the ADF. Both the Integration and Spare Parts supply will be conducted via PCV’s facilities in Wacol, Brisbane.
RMMVA was contracted in July 2013 to supply over 2,500 military logistic protected and unprotected vehicles and nearly 3,000 modules to the ADF.
The first series vehicles under Land 121 Phase 3B are to be delivered in late 2016, with the final delivery expected in 2020.
