IVECO Defence Vehicles and Sofram delivers multi-purpose military truck PPT to French Army 2606131.

The 8x8 special high-mobility vehicles provided to the French Army offer exceptional off-road mobility and a fording capability which enables them to provide logistic support to any military operation in the most hostile environmental conditions.

Logistic vehicles will be supplied with a hook-lift body for load-handling operations, whereas recovery vehicles will be supplied with a lifting boom and a crane for recovering military vehicles. All vehicles will feature an armoured cab and will ensure maximum crew protection with excellent operational flexibility and carrying capacity. Project delivery will include maintenance and the supply of spare parts.

The body, chassis equipment, demountable rack offloading and pick up system (DROPS), logistic trailers and special ADR EX II containers will be manufactured and assembled in France by Soframe, part of the Alsatian Lohr Group.

This important supply contract, which consolidates Iveco Defence Vehicles’ and Sofreame’s European market leadership in the military sector, provides a response to the current and anticipated requirements of the French armed forces in terms of logistic support and crew protection.
