Canada buys new G-Wagons!
OTTAWA - The Army's first 60 Gelaendenwagen vehicles, or G-Wagon, will be deployed to Afghanistan in March for use during Operation ATHENA, ROTO 1.
An additional 40 vehicles will be delivered to the Canadian Forces shortly thereafter and the remainder of the fleet will be fielded over the next several months to units in Canada. Delivery will be completed by August 2005.
A $126-million contract was awarded to Mercedes Benz Canada on October 21, 2003, for the procurement of 802 G-Wagons and 118 armour protection systems (APS).
