Oshkosh Defense Europe B.V. together with Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK] business, announced today that it has been selected by the Netherlands Ministry of Defence to produce 150 Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicles (DXPV), a JLTV variant tailored to fulfill the requirements for its Future Littoral All Terrain Mobility – Patrol Vehicle (FLATM-PV).

The Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicles (DXPV) is a variant of the Oshkosh Defense JLTV tailored to fulfill requirements for the Netherlands' Future Littoral All Terrain Mobility – Patrol Vehicle (FLATM-PV).

The Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicles (DXPV) is a variant of the Oshkosh Defense JLTV tailored to fulfill requirements for the Netherlands' Future Littoral All Terrain Mobility – Patrol Vehicle (FLATM-PV).

“Oshkosh is honored that the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps has chosen to equip its formations with the Oshkosh DXPV,” said Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer, Oshkosh Defense.

The Oshkosh DXPV offers the Dutch Marines the world’s most advanced 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,” continued Williams. “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. It enables our customers to leverage an established supply chain, streamline training, and simplify integration - driving greater efficiency and mission success across the board.”

Oshkosh Defense continues to be the only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) able to supply the JLTV directly to allied countries. 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.
