This significant logistical contract underscores the Italian military’s ongoing modernization efforts and commitment to bolstering its transport capabilities.
Iveco Defence Vehicles (IDV) is playing a central role in fulfilling this substantial demand. The company will supply a total of 2,111 trucks to the Italian Army, marking the largest logistical contract in its history.
