Second tranche Unimog for Lithuania

On September 26, 2019, the Lithuanian Armed Forces took delivery of the second tranche of 110 Unimog U5000 from Mercedes-Benz.

Litauen hat 2015 über die NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) 340 Unimog U5000 bestellt. Die erste Tranche mit 88 Fahrzeugen war Ende 2018 übergeben worden. Die restlichen 142 Fahrzeuge sollen bis 2022 geliefert werden.

The supply contract with a volume of 70 million euros provides for logistical support, special tools and test equipment as well as other guarantees for the first 15 years of operation.

The new 5-ton tactical trucks will be assigned to the Lithuanian Land Forces and other units, complementing the existing fleet of equipment of the same type with which the Lithuanian forces are well acquainted. The Unimog are used for logistical support and personnel transport.
