Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

[Furniture]

Rumour hss it that Toronto operates fleets of vehicles.

If you ask AI questions like how many of what kind and brand, how old and how often they are bought you get some interesting answers. None of them involve replacing the entire fleet on a single purchase every 30 years.

The CAF updates it's blue fleet in small batches as they age-out, the CAF isn't a stranger to what large companies or businesses do.

The problem is the green fleet, where there is extra training and unique parts requirements. Even TPS' cruisers are a completely off-the-shelf solution from a major brand, like buying a Silverado WT for Bob's plumbing or RP Ops.

And you are pointing in the direction of the problem.

Customization.

The less you customize the easier it is to purchase, maintain and replace.

Green fleet serves different roles than blue fleet.

Green fleet needs commonality across the fleet to enable maintenance and repair. Blue fleet is handled through dealer networks. (With some variation for high cost low density non militarized fleets).

Im hoping we get into customization honestly. If it proves effective Id like to see an amb, light recovery, CUAS, even light mortar, etc if it works out.
