NP Aerospace to deliver Light Tactical Transport Vehicles to Belgium MoD
Coventry’s NP Aerospace has been awarded a contract to deliver 87 Light Tactical Transport Vehicles (LTTV) to the Belgium MOD (BeMOD) following its acquisition of Jankel Armouring Limited.
Headquartered in Weybridge, Jankel Armouring Limited was under contract to deliver 199 Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG based vehicles to the BeMOD before going into administration in February, 2024. NP Aerospace acquired Jankel’s assets in June, 2024 and will now deliver the remaining vehicles.
The contract includes lifetime in-service support to the LTTV vehicle fleet that will be delivered by the company’s Vehicle Systems, Services and Spares business unit. NP Aerospace has also signed an in-service support contract with BeMoD for their Rapid Reaction Vehicles (RRV) fleet.
In a statement, James Kempston, NP Aerospace CEO, said: “We’re…putting everything in place to get the LTTV programme up and running and delivering to the customer’s expectations. This is great news for NP Aerospace, for our UK supply chain and for Coventry as we continue to create and/or sustain high skilled jobs in the region and across our supplier partnerships.”
The LTTV vehicle is designed to provide a modular and configurable tactical support vehicle that benefits from removable mission modules. With a payload of over three tonnes, depending on the final vehicle specification, the LTTV has three core variants for Special Operations support, including an ambulance variant.
