Watch: Could this be a good replacement for the HUMVEE?

The Oshkosh Defense Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle offers a smaller platform from the large MRAP and a more secure and maneuverable vehicle from the traditional Army Humvee. The manufacturer lists these features on their website:

OSHKOSH DEFENSE® L-ATV

The new Oshkosh Defense® L-ATV is the future of light combat vehicles. The L-ATV combines field-proven technologies, an advanced crew protection system that provides MRAP-level protection and expeditionary levels of mobility in a light-duty profile. Equipped with the Oshkosh TAK-4i™ intelligent independent suspension system*, this Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle delivers new levels of agility to safely traverse rugged terrain and compressed urban areas. The L-ATV can also be equipped with the ProPulse® hybrid diesel-electric drivetrain with exportable power for greater functionality, efficiency and fuel economy.

Leveraging a 90-year history of innovation, Oshkosh has developed a vehicle that redefines protection and mobility – and it’s mission-ready today. The Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle (L-ATV) can allow military personnel to transform how they maneuver and perform their missions.
