Navistar Defense receives $134 million for fleet support

Issue No. 1 | January 01-15, 2012

Navistar Defense recently announced that it received a $134 million delivery order for field service representatives (FSRs). The order from the US Marine Corps Systems Command renews the company’s intheatre FSR service contract to support International maxxPro mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles.

“I’m proud to say that Navistar will not sell a truck if we can’t support it in theatre,” said Archie Massicotte, President, Navistar Defense. “Sustainment of our vehicles is key—especially when vehicle lifecycles may run between 15 and 20 years. With our fleet of vehicles now growing beyond 32,000 trucks, fleet support will continue to be a critical piece of our business.”
