President of Navistar Defense, Archie Massicotte, said that the company was driven to provide soldiers with the equipment they need as soon as possible.
“The Navistar team is going after an aggressive delivery commitment and we will be successful due to our partnering with the supply base,” said Massicotte.
The MaxxPro MRAP variant was designed especially for the rugged terrain in Afghanistan and has enhanced mobility as well as additional armouring and spare parts that are usable across the whole MaxxPro.
