WASHINGTON - The United States Army has contracted Florida-based defense equipment manufacturer Bukkehave Inc. to manufacture and supply an unspecified number of Toyota Land Cruiser military truck variants and essential spares to the armed forces of 13 African countries as part of its expanded regional counter-terrorism program for East, West and North Africa.
A contract notice posted on the Federal Business Opportunities register says the U.S. Army Contracting Command's Tank and Automotive Division selected Bukkehave will supply the trucks to the armed forces of Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Tunisia and Uganda.
Bukkehave has also been awarded an additional contract to supply Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Tunisia and Uganda with an unspecified number of heavy duty trucks, which must come in both left and right hand drive variants.
