JLR and General Motors eye £900m contract to build new range of military trucks
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and General Motors—partnered with BAE Systems and NP Aerospace—are among several automotive and defence firms competing for a £900m UK Ministry of Defence contract to supply thousands of new 4x4 military trucks, set to replace the armed forces' ageing fleet of Land Rovers and Pinzgauer vehicles starting in 2030. This push reflects carmakers' efforts to capitalize on a surge in NATO defence spending amid challenges in the electric vehicle transition and competition from Chinese rivals.
