Ford Motor Co. is bidding for a U.S. Army tactical truck contract. This represents the company's most significant military bid in decades.
Ford will compete against General Motors and BC Customs for the award. The automaker previously exited the defense sector after selling its aerospace division in 1990.
The Army awarded Ford a contract for three prototypes based on the F-Series Super Duty pickup. Ford expects to deliver these prototypes in 2027.
The program seeks approximately 600 vehicles for troop transport and mobile drone power stations. This initiative aligns with Pentagon efforts to modernize hardware through U.S. automakers.
