The Royal Moroccan Army has placed a fresh order for Tata 6×6 LPTA 2445 trucks, adding to the fleet of 90 already delivered by Tata Group of India. This procurement underscores the strengthening defense partnership between India and Morocco while enhancing the logistical and operational capabilities of the Royal Moroccan Army.
The newly ordered LPTA 2445 trucks will feature the Defence Dump Truck variant, a versatile configuration ideal for various military applications. This variant differs from the previously supplied military-grade logistics and munition transport vehicles, which were primarily used for transporting personnel, supplies, and ammunition.
The addition of these trucks enhances the Royal Moroccan Army’s logistical efficiency, enabling swift and reliable transport of construction materials, supplies, and water resources. Their deployment in challenging terrains further boosts the operational flexibility of the Moroccan forces.
Features of the Defence Dump Truck Variant
- Payload Capacity: The Defence Dump Truck variant is robustly designed for off-road terrains and engineered to handle heavy payloads, suitable for demanding operational environments.
- Versatility: It can be paired with a 1.5-ton cargo trailer, enabling the transport of water and other essential supplies, a critical feature for sustaining operations in remote and arid regions.
- Durability and Performance: Built with Tata’s proven automotive engineering expertise, the truck offers exceptional reliability, a key factor in military logistics.
