The new Moroccan purchases of defence material include hundreds of trucks from different manufacturers to improve their logistical capacity. The Indian company Tata Advanced Systems is the latest to supply this type of equipment within a broad package of acquisitions that includes the acquisition in recent years of vehicles from the French firm Arquus, the German MAN and Mercedes and the Italian Iveco and Astra, among others. The Armed Forces of the North African country has just received 92 high-mobility trucks of the LPTA 2445, 6×6 traction, and LPTA-715, 4×4 models, for an amount that has not transcended.
The vehicles were shipped at the port of Gujarat, bound for Morocco, at the end of this month of December. The images released at the time show the vehicles ready for shipment next to a sign specifying that it is the export of 90 LPTA 2445 6×6 units, so it follows that the LPTA-715 4×4 supplied are only two.
The company in charge of this new batch, Tata Advanced Systems, is the same that must build 40 C-295 transport aircraft for its country within a package of 56 units acquired from Airbus, of which the remaining 16 will be manufactured in the Spanish facilities of the company in Seville.
