Here's a link to the Medium MAN trucks that are currently being purchased by the Brits. They are also buying the heavier SX series. Does anybody know who their Canadian partner might be?
As near as I can understand the contenders to date we have:
Oerlikon Aerospace aligned with Stewart & Stevenson on the US Army's FMTV
DEW Engineering aligned with Oshkosh on the US Marine's MTVR
The MAN trucks are entering service with the British forces but as noted I don't know the Canadian partner if any.
Another runner might be the Steyr trucks - younger and smaller cousins to the HLVW (http://www.swiec.com/p1-7.htm ) which might be put forward by Mercedes and/or Frank Stronach's Magna corporation.
