Defense News - Oshkosh Defense

Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), designed the M-ATV Tactical Ambulance to meet an international need for a more protected battlefield ambulance that can travel more extensively off-road. The vehicle is the latest variant within the Oshkosh MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle family. More than 8,200 life-saving M-ATVs are currently fielded in Afghanistan.

Oshkosh worked closely with military medical professionals on the vehicle's design and interior layout. The fully functional ambulance will help military medics reach and treat casualties in hostile environments across rugged terrain. It allows for prompt extraction and treatment of patients when every moment counts, and has mounting provisions that provide options for a complete suite of medical equipment. The vehicle is available in two configurations that provide ample room to treat two patients on stretchers or four ambulatory patients.

Oshkosh has more than 90 years of experience designing, manufacturing and sustaining world-class vehicles for governments, militaries and special forces units around the world. The company uses a collaborative, integrated approach to meet customers' needs, from vehicle design and production to training and sustainment. Oshkosh's aftermarket solutions cover the complete spectrum of vehicle life-cycle support, including training services, instruction manuals, maintenance and repairs, parts supply, and fleet restoration services.
