Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

[MilEME09]

Add a zero to the numbers, and add a 6x6 5 to 7 ton Zetro to the mix and it should be good.

Do this and retire the internationals, then our main logistics fleets will all be the same chassis, with 80% parts commonality. The amount saved in maintenance, training and logistics would be huge.

My issue with the LVM trucks, is they are so tall, I get why they are but as a result you cant handle side bins for example on the MRT, or amb.

The 4xr Zetro is at least a 2½ ton. A good replacement for the MLVW, but not the LSVW.

Everything has gone up in size, the 8x8 zetro is basically a super heavy not an hl replacement. The cargo LUVs will be more close to the LS size.

So the LUVs will make better Ambulances, CPs and MRTs than the Zetros?

Absolutely, they decided against side bins on the zetros because if you put them on, they would be six feet off the ground, and require a ladder to access. Not ideal

Can we do this or will the MSVS replacement require a competition?

Probably require a competition but we could probably argue a sole source out of it
