(WTAQ-WLUK) — The Netherlands has ordered 150 military vehicles from Oshkosh Defense.
In an agreement announced Wednesday, the Netherlands Ministry of Defense signed a deal to buy Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicles, known as the “Kaaiman.”
Derived from Oshkosh’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle platform, the DXPV offers off-road mobility, high speeds and interoperability with NATO forces, the company says.
“We are honored to work alongside the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps in delivering the Kaaiman,” Pat Williams, chief programs officer at Oshkosh Defense, said in a news release. “This agreement reflects the continued global interest in the Oshkosh JLTV platform and reinforces our role as the only original equipment manufacturer authorized to offer it to international customers through direct commercial sales.”
A dollar value of the order was not provided.
