has won two contracts with the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) General Support Vehicles IPT, as part of the continued growth of its land-based defence division.

The MoD is looking to acquire replacements for the General Support Tanker and Light Equipment Transporter vehicles, both of which are nearing the end of their lifecycles.

The existing fleet comprises commercial Seddon Atkinson Tractor units, and trailers with a 32,000 litre capacity tanker for the General Support Tanker and a 44 tonne capacity trailer for the Future Light Equipment Transporter. The replacement vehicles will deliver significant capability enhancement to the armed forces, with improved mobility, flexibility and protection levels over the existing fleet.

Frazer-Nash has been selected to complete the user and systems requirements work for both vehicles which will feed into the MoD’s procurement process. This work will help to define exactly what the armed forces require from the new vehicles, learning from end-users’ first hand experience gained on recent operations.
