MTVR from C-130(click to view full) Oshkosh Corp. in Oshkosh, WI supplies the US Marine Corps’ and /Navy Seebee construction battalions with MTVR medium trucks. The vehicles come in several types, but all are distinguished by having very good off-road capabilities for trucks, with 7.1 ton payload capacity off-road and an on-road payload capacity of up to 15 tons. In order to fit into cargo aircraft like the C-130, the trucks can fold down part of the cab, reducing the vehicle’s height. The picture above shows an MTVR in that stowed configuration.

Israeli firm Plasan Sasa has been Oshkosh’s partner in this area since 2005. Work will be performed in Jacksonville, FL, and is expected to be complete by May 31/10.
