Despite its previous expressions ef interest, Leyland Trucks has decided not to bid for the MoD SV Military Truck programme for diets, 6x6s and 8x9s. The contract is estimated to be worth some £1,4bn excluding future spares and support business.
Leyland Trucks boss Stuart Heys says: "After conducting a thorough review of the MoD tender, including the required plant and financial commitments, Leyland reluctantly concluded not to pursue this business opportunity."
This leaves Stewart & Stevens, Oshkosh/AO, DaimlerChrysler and MAN in the running.
