AM General has signed an agreement to authorize England-based Marshall Land Systems as a service provider for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Humvee).
The move follows an October 2025 collaboration between the companies in support of an ongoing program to replace the British Army’s decommissioned Land Rover fleet with new Light Mobility Vehicles by the end of the decade.
The latest cooperation certifies Marshall to deliver lifecycle services involving technical support, health checks, sustainment, and parts supply to international Humvee users.
To date, approximately 350,000 of the platforms are operational under different militaries, including 17 NATO users in Europe.
“This addition to our partnership is a testament to the strong relationship we have built with Marshall Land Systems and our confidence in their ability to provide world class service,” said John Chadbourne, CEO and president at AM General.
Meanwhile, Marshall Land Systems CEO Gareth Williams noted that the collaboration marks a significant milestone for the British firm, aligning it with a “globally recognized brand” supporting thousands of platforms worldwide.
“This continued partnership reinforces the strong relationship between our two organisations, enabling us to grow our capabilities in the UK, Europe and beyond,” Williams stated. “We’re optimistic about what the future holds and the potential we can achieve together.”
The Humvee
The Humvee, or HMMWV, was introduced in the 1980s to take over the roles of the US Armed Forces’ aging Jeeps and other light tactical vehicles.
Since its inception, the 4×4 platform has received multiple revamps to match evolving operational requirements.
The workhorse vehicle measures up to 15 feet (5 meters), depending on its variant, and can be armed with a 40-millimeter grenade launcher, a 12.7-millimeter heavy machine gun, 7.62-millimeter medium machine gun, 5.56-millimeter light machine gun, and an anti-tank missile launcher.
The Humvee is equipped with a Detroit Diesel V8 engine with an output of 190 horsepower and a four-speed automatic transmission, enabling speeds over 70 miles (113 kilometers) per hour and a range of 350 miles (563 kilometers).
