Iveco Defence Vehicles and BAE Systems are teaming up to pursue the U.S. Marine Corps personnel carrier contract with a vehicle based on Iveco’s amphibious SUPERAV 8×8.This announcement is a kick in the balls. I really like the look of the SEP and was hoping that BAE would enter that vehicle (the wheeled version) in this contest.
Iveco declared its intention to enter the SUPERAV in the MPC contest last year; BAE adds U.S. market savvy and U.S. production facilities.
Its probably not to be anyway. I can easily see the Marine Personnel Carrier Program getting sliced, delayed or out right canceled.
