Spartan Chassis Acquires $49 Million Subcontract From General Dynamics

Spartan Chassis, a subsidiary of Spartan Motors has received a $49 million subcontract order from General Dynamics Land Systems to supply and integrate key chassis components in the production of advanced tactical vehicles under the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected program.

The vehicles under this order will be utilized by multiple branches of the US military. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles are said to be prized by the military for their V-shaped hulls, raised chassis and improved armor, which help protect servicemen and women from improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, mines and other hazards of war.

Richard Schalter, president of Spartan Chassis, said: “This latest contract award is further validation of Spartan’s expertise and responsiveness in the critical role we play in the production of MRAP vehicles.”
