Oshkosh M1070 HET

The Oshkosh M1070 is the heavy equipment transporter tractor of the United States Army Heavy Equipment Transporter System, whose main job is moving the M1 Abrams tank; it also hauls armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, armored bulldozers and other heavy equipment. Coupled to the DRS Technologies M1000 semi-trailer, it replaced the earlier Oshkosh M911 tractor and M747 semi-trailer. A contract for 1,044 M1070s was placed with production starting in July 1992, and 2,488 of the original A0 version were delivered to the Army. The M1070A1 followed, with 1,591 new vehicles built before production ended in August 2014. The M1070 and M1000 can be flown in a C-5 Galaxy or C-17 Globemaster III, and the British Army adopted the M1070 in 2001 to replace the Scammell Commander.
