Military trucks are the “workhorses” of modern armed forces providing mobility from the strategic all the way down to the tactical level. The breadth of logistical and mobility support they offer is extensive, ranging from transportation of troops and equipment to being the platform of weapon systems, such as artillery howitzers and missiles or air defence systems, and systems overall, such as telecommunications, radars, and field hospitals among others.
The technological and business developments in the military trucks market are closely tied to the commercial market which offers mostly militarized variants of commercial families of trucks. That approach offers significant advantages in terms of technology development and economies of scale, and is equally important to the support of military trucks through a well-established spare parts and maintenance global network.
Electrification is an important issue for the future of the automotive industry but there is still a long way to its full entry into the defence domain due to the technical considerations pertaining to the battlefield’s risks. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for electric vehicles to enter as part of the new procurement.
In the business landscape, the market is highly competitive as there are numerous large manufacturers, which nevertheless belong to global automotive groups. That is proof that branding also plays an important role, not only as a testament to the product’s quality but also to the role that this industry plays in the economic development and technological evolution of a country.
The procurement of military trucks is an opportunity for countries that want to expand their economic output and growth to build upon them, develop their supply chain, and connect it to the global truck manufacturing network.
