Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's News story entitled 500 trucks rapidly procured for British Army operations, published on 3 February 2024, what variants of HX truck are being procured under the contract.
This question was answered on 8th February 2024
The HX2 8x8 trucks were procured at pace, to support military activity. There was no UK-made option that could have been delivered as quickly. As such, these vehicles, made by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) in Austria, have only a nominal amount of UK content, related to operational configuration work in Doncaster. Support will be provided in the UK by RMVV UK.
