Netherlands picks Oshkosh Defense to produce 150 DXPVs

The Netherlands Ministry of Defense has elected Oshkosh Defense to produce 150 Dutch expeditionary patrol vehicles (DXPVs).

As disclosed, the vehicles are a JLTV variant developed to fulfill the requirements for the future littoral all–terrain mobility patrol vehicle (FLATM-PV). They are intended for the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps.

The JLTV is a light military vehicle, delivering next-generation levels of off-road mobility, speed, transportability, and seamless operational and logistical interoperability with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies.

“Our DXPV is highly common with the approximately 22,000 JLTVs delivered to the U.S. DoD and more than 1,600 JLTVs produced for other NATO and allied countries that are being fielded now and in the future,” said Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer, Oshkosh Defense.

“This high level of commonality not only significantly reduces the logistics footprint required to support and sustain the DXPV, but also ensures exceptional system performance, maximizes operational readiness, and enhances interoperability.”

With this award, the Netherlands joins the United States, Lithuania, Slovenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Mongolia, Latvia, Slovakia, Brazil, Romania, and Israel in operating the Oshkosh platform.
