B) I agree but we don't have the economy of scale.
LTCVs are expected to last 15 years, HTCVs are expected to last 20 years. The tenders reflect this.
When you are buying 2000 vehicles you can be sure that your supplier will give the latest technology as and when it comes on line.
Can we afford to have 3 fleets?
The way barracks are being closed would we even have the space to store 3 fleets.
You can be sure the Aussies will still have a few landrovers in service in 15 years, just like our 260s.
I thought we moved away from scrapping a serviceable vehicle just because of age?????
FMP, All I'm saying is single platform is great when you can do it. We have about 2000 vehicles all told. ADF has that and more in just the LTCV fleet. There is no comparisons.
Murphy, the point about the P4 is that it is a variant. Even with massive buying power they don't stick to the single vehicle concept.
But I agree with the rest of you post 100%
