OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – Nearly $260 million dollars in orders from the U-S Army has just been secured with Oshkosh Corporation.
Oshkosh will rebuild 670 vehicles and 356 trailers.
Vice President and General Manager with of Army and Marine Corp. programs for Oshkosh Defense, Pat Williams, says these recent orders are part of a larger five year contract they were awarded in 2015.
“The contract is really to bring the Army’s heavy tactical vehicles up to a zero mile-zero hour condition as if they were leaving our production plant as new.”
Williams says rebuilding vehicles saves the government money.
“They are also issued with a full warranty and all of this is done at a fraction of the cost of new vehicles.”
This order will likely be completed within a 12 month period.
Oshkosh Corp. has completed over 14,000 vehicles over the last 20 years.
The company employs 3,224 people domestically.
