Renault Trucks Defense has just signed a contract with the American company Globecomm Systems Inc. (GSI) for 17 vehicles Sherpa Carrier. These Sherpa Carrier were retained by GSI as carriers of tactical communications stations and will be qualified by US Army then delivered to NATO for the equipment of the Battalions Signal.
The 17 Sherpa Carrier will be assembled on the factory of production of the military vehicles (CPVM) of Renault Trucks Defense in Limoges during the first quarter 2010.
Following the recent success of the Sherpa Carrier with Namsa in 2007 and 2008, with Thales Alenia Space in 2009 (Syracuse III program) and NATO with the patrol armoured
version, the Sherpa family signs its first success in United States.
