Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles is the United States Army series of medium military trucks on a common chassis, varying by payload and mission. It descends from the Austrian Steyr 12M18 truck, substantially modified to meet Army requirements that include at least 50 percent US content. There were originally 17 variants: four light medium tactical vehicles in the 2.5 ton class and 13 medium tactical vehicles of nominal 5 ton payload. The first FMTVs were fielded in January 1996. They were built by Stewart & Stevenson to 2006, by Armor Holdings in 2006 and 2007, then by BAE Systems, and since 2011 by Oshkosh Corporation, which won the A1P2 contract in August 2009 and had produced more than 40,500 A1P2 trucks and trailers by August 2021.
