The Swiss government has awarded General Dynamics [GD] European Land Systems a contract to deliver 70 additional DURO Armored Personnel Carriers for the country’s Mobility Task Force (GMTF), General Dynamics [GD] said recently.
Deliveries are set to begin in the fall of 2013 and the vehicles will be manufactured at General Dynamics’ facility in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.
The DURO is capable of transporting up to 11 soldiers. It meets the Swiss Army’s requirements for a vehicle that provides troop protection and mobility for military applications, as well as peacekeeping operations, General Dynamics said.
General Dynamics had already delivered 220 DURO GMTF vehicles to the Swiss Army under a 2008 program.
