Some facts: In 1991 a Stewart & Stevenson company was awarded a large-scale contract to manufacture the US Army's new Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) with the intention that eventually all the existing (and aging) medium trucks in the Army's inventory would be replaced by a modern and efficient design. The FMTV is based on an Austrian truck, the Steyr 12 M 18, but considerably reengineered to be available as the 4 x 4 2.5 ton Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) while this design involves many commercially available components. The basic LMTV is the M1078 cargo truck. The M1078 standard cargo truck is designed to transport cargo and soldiers. It has a payload capacity of 2.27 t and to facilitate loading and unloading the bed-side rails are mounted on hinges and can be lowered. The cargo bed is equipped with an optional bench seat kit for the transport of soldiers. The bench seats are constructed of a non-wood material and attach to the cargo bed side rails, and can be folded down and stowed when not in use. Soldiers are assisted when climbing in and out of the cargo bed area with the aid of a ladder, which is stowed on a vehicle when not in use. A canvas and bows kit are available to keep both soldiers and cargo protected from the elements. The M1078 can be equipped with optional electrically operated self-recovery winch kit capable of fore and aft vehicle recovery operations. The LMTV models uses forward tilting control cab which makes maintenance operations and routine checking super easy. The tilting power steering and a fully automatic transmission coupled to a high efficiency and low emission Caterpillar Diesel engine make this truck easy for anyone to drive. The M1078 FMTV strenghts have been placed on reliability, low unit and running costs, and long term efficiency, all aspects well demonstrated during a grueling series of selection trials which took place over a period of many months before selection of the Steyr design. The FMTV family is destined to serve well into the 21st Century and is being bought bought by government agencies new at a price over $150.000 hundred-fifty-thousend U.S. Dollars
