Norway has signed a NOK1 billion (USD167.2 million) deal with Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) for military trucks, a Norwegian Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesperson confirmed to IHS Jane's on 2 April. Two contracts were signed by the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) and RMMV on 31 March: an initial purchase contract and a through-life logistics support contract. Deliveries of the vehicles are expected to run from 2015 to 2017. Norway will purchase an entire range of new logistics vehicles from RMMV under the arrangement, with nine variants to be purchased in this initial order, the spokesperson stated. "This is the first order and will give us everything from heavy goods vehicles and hook lifters to various cargo trailers and some easier transportation for airport operations," the NDLO stated.
