摘要

A U.S. Army-led program to find a replacement for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) - aka the Humvee - has entered the testing portion of the engineering and manufacturing development phase. Testing of Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) prototypes from three manufacturers began in September and will continue for 14 months. AM General, Lockheed Martin and Oshkosh Defense (see December 2012 Diesel Progress) have delivered 22 vehicles and six trailers for testing to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, Yuma Test Center in Arizona, and Redstone Arsenal in Alabama.
