The Oshkosh L-ATV is a next generation light tactical combat vehicle developed to replace aging Humvee fleets in modern military operations. Designed for survivability, mobility, and modular mission flexibility, the L-ATV serves as the foundation of the U.S. military’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program. It combines the protection standards of heavier MRAP vehicles with the speed and maneuverability of a light tactical platform.
Built for high threat environments, the vehicle supports troop transport, reconnaissance, convoy security, command operations, and weapons integration across multiple combat scenarios.
The L-ATV is manufactured by Oshkosh Defense in the United States. Oshkosh developed the platform for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps under the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program. The vehicle entered service during the late 2010s and has since been adopted by several allied nations.
Powered by a turbocharged diesel engine paired with an advanced TAK-4i independent suspension system, the L-ATV achieves excellent off-road mobility and battlefield agility. The vehicle can reach road speeds of approximately 110 km/h and offers an operational range of around 480 km depending on mission load and terrain conditions.
The estimated unit cost of the L-ATV ranges between USD 350,000 and USD 450,000 depending on mission configuration, armor package, and integrated weapon systems.
