The award is for 75 vehicles, parts and support. The vehicles are based on the International® WorkStar® 7300 series 4X4, and are consistent with the Navistar Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) fleet. They will be used to transport refrigerated goods such as meat and fresh vegetables.
“We are pleased to continue to provide and support International products for the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police,” said Bob Walsh, vice president and general manager, Navistar Defense. “Our refrigerated vehicles are an excellent continuation of our vehicle base in country, and will go a long way to provide for our warfighters in the heat and climate conditions of Afghanistan.”
