Italy based IVECO DEFENCE VEHICLES has secured a contract from the Dutch Ministry of Defence for the delivery and long-term support of 785 military logistic trucks. The agreement was finalized through the Materiel and IT Command (COMMIT), and deliveries are scheduled to take place between 2027 and 2029.
The contract covers 8×8 and 6×4 truck variants across three configurations: semitrailer tractor, recovery, and hook-lift. The vehicles will be available with either protected or unprotected cabs, and are designed to ensure compatibility with existing European military logistics platforms. The deal also includes integrated logistic support for at least 15 years, along with an option for an additional 785 vehicles.
This development builds on previous cooperation between IDV and the Dutch Ministry of Defence, including the earlier 12kN Manticore program under which 1,283 multirole tactical vehicles were ordered. The new trucks are expected to further standardize and modernize the logistical capabilities of the Dutch Armed Forces.
IDV CEO Claudio Catalano noted that the contract reinforces the company’s involvement in providing mobility and support platforms to European defense customers.
