PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As European and allied forces accelerate modernization efforts in response to evolving operational threats, Oshkosh Defense LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK] business, will showcase proven tactical mobility solutions at Eurosatory 2026 designed to support interoperability, distributed operations and future battlefield requirements, without the risk and long development timelines of entirely new vehicle programs.
For decades, Oshkosh Defense has supported allied military forces with heavy, medium and light tactical vehicle platforms designed to operate across coalition environments. Today, as NATO and European partners prioritize readiness, sustainment resilience and operational flexibility, Oshkosh Defense continues to evolve its proven platforms to meet emerging mission requirements. At Eurosatory 2026, Oshkosh Defense will feature its hybrid electric Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (eJLTV), an advanced capability demonstrator built on the combat-proven JLTV platform currently fielded by the United States and allied nations worldwide. With more than 24,000 JLTVs produced, the platform provides a mature, interoperable foundation capable of adapting to future operational requirements while maintaining commonality across coalition forces. The eJLTV demonstrates how allied forces can modernize tactical mobility capabilities while reducing transition risk, leveraging existing sustainment infrastructure and preserving operational familiarity for deployed forces. The platform integrates hybrid electric capability, onboard exportable power generation, silent watch and silent drive functionality to support distributed operations, next-generation battlefield systems and evolving operational energy requirements.
By building on a fielded and combat-proven platform, Oshkosh Defense offers allied customers a scalable path toward future capability integration without sacrificing reliability, survivability or interoperability. The JLTV platform also creates opportunities for localized sustainment, long-term fleet support and regional operational integration aligned with allied modernization priorities.
“European and allied forces are modernizing under real operational pressure, and they also need solutions that can be fielded, sustained and integrated quickly,” said Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer at Oshkosh Defense. “The eJLTV demonstrates how Oshkosh Defense can evolve a combat-proven platform to support future power, interoperability and distributed operational requirements without forcing customers to accept the risk and timelines associated with entirely new vehicle programs.”
Attendees can experience the eJLTV and learn more about Oshkosh Defense’s portfolio of advanced tactical mobility solutions and technologies at Eurosatory 2026 in Booth A320 in the USA Pavilion.
