|
On 17 July, the Defence Procurement Agency announced that Alvis was the preferred bidder for the future command and Liaison vehicle (FCLV) contract and, in early November 2003 the Company was awarded a prime contract for the project by the Ministry of Defence. This contract is valued at approximately £140m for the supply 401 MLV vehicles, and includes options for up to 400 additional vehicles. Alvis Vickers has signed a sub-contract with Iveco SpA to supply major vehicle subassemblies, cementing the agreement between the two companies to provide vehicles jointly for the FCLV programme. Earlier this year Alvis Vickers and Iveco signed an exclusive co-operative marketing agreement for MLV covering a wide range of export territories. We promise to bring you the full story of the MLV in a future issue. Posted on: 16/12/03 |
