GM Defense, Rheinmetall Win U.S. Army’s First Phase CTT Contract
GM Defense and American Rheinmetall Vehicles have won a contract for the first phase of the U.S. Army’s Common Tactical Truck (CTT) Programme.
The multi-phased project aims at replacing the Army’s family of heavy tactical trucks with production of up to 40,000 trucks valued at up to US$14 billion.
Strategic Tie-up
The two defence companies formed a strategic collaboration in 2022 to compete in the programme bringing together the two engineering and manufacturing giants to deliver a modern, tactical truck that enhances Soldier capability through advanced technologies including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for safety, off-road mobility, cybersecurity, machine learning, artificial intelligence, improved survivability and fuel efficiency.
The team has offered the HX3 Common Tactical Truck (HX3-CTT). The HX3 is the latest generation in the combat proven HX family of trucks which are in service with a number of NATO and U.S. allied nations.
The HX family of trucks derives from MAN Truck and Bus commercial truck offerings bringing a high degree of commerciality to the fleet.
Matthew Warnick, Managing Director for American Rheinmetall Vehicles, explained: “Both American Rheinmetall Vehicles and GM Defense look forward to providing competition to the Army’s CTT Programme. Together our team will deliver a transformational truck that leverages the commercial strengths of our partners, Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles and General Motors, and the commonality of the HX3-CTT design.”
Steve duMont, president of GM Defense, noted: “Winning the CTT prototype phase demonstrates the value that the strategic collaboration between GM Defense and American Rheinmetall Vehicles brings to this important, next-generation Army programme. We look forward to continuing our work with American Rheinmetall Vehicles to execute the first prototype phase.”
HX3-CTT Advantages
The HX3-CTT features an advanced, interchangeable protected cab design, ADAS, and drive by wire operation. The HX3-CTT possesses an extremely high level of commonality and modularity across variants: cargo, load handling systems, tankers, and line haul tractors. With an HX family that can scale from 4x4 to 10x10, the HX can meet military needs.
The HX3-CTT leverages advances in commercial truck technology, safety, fuel efficiency, and emissions reduction. Ruggedised for the stresses of military service, it provides an “off the shelf” capability. This commercial backbone reduces obsolescence risk/cost, expands parts availability and reduces sustainment demands .
