????據(jù)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道，在今年一月美國軍方測(cè)試了洛克希德馬丁、美國汽車綜合公司和奧什科什公司提供的多用途輪式原型車之后，美國軍方上周二向奧什科什公司開出一張價(jià)值67.5億美元的訂單。

????在今后的25年里，奧什科什公司最多將生產(chǎn)55,000輛聯(lián)合輕型戰(zhàn)術(shù)車輛（JLTV），用于取代相當(dāng)一部分老舊的軍用悍馬和其它大型軍用卡車。美國陸軍計(jì)劃采購49,909輛，并為海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)采購5,500輛。

????奧什科什公司涉足軍車制造行業(yè)已經(jīng)很長時(shí)間了，但隨著五角大樓不斷壓縮軍費(fèi)開支，該公司近來的日子并不好過。這筆長期合同可謂雪中送炭。奧什科什的股價(jià)今年下跌了大約20%。上周二獲得這筆大單后，其股票應(yīng)聲上漲12%，盤后交易一度達(dá)到每股43美元。此次回升也抵消了今年以來的大半跌幅。

????奧什科什公司設(shè)計(jì)的新型輪式軍車，在重量上要輕于美國綜合汽車公司此前設(shè)計(jì)的原型車，從而更容易通過空運(yùn)投送。另外，該車型也能更好地經(jīng)受地雷和路邊炸彈的襲擊，同時(shí)還具有更好的續(xù)航里程和耐用性，適合人員和裝備運(yùn)輸。

????奧什科什公司首席執(zhí)行官查爾斯?斯佐斯對(duì)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》表示，該公司在國防業(yè)中扮演的角色“支撐起了公司的整個(gè)架構(gòu)”，從而使其獲得了這場(chǎng)“歷史性勝利”。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????After the Army tested Humvee prototypes fromLockheed Martin Corp., AM General LLC, and Oshkosh Corp. back in January, it offered the latter a $6.75 billion contract on Tuesday to build military vehicles, the Wall Street Journal reports.

????Over the next 25 years, Oshkosh will produce up to 55,000 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) to replace a good portion of the military’s aging Humvees and larger trucks. The Army plans to purchase 49,909 for itself and 5,500 for the Marines.

????Oshkosh has been in the business of building military vehicles for a long time, but has recently faced rough times as the Pentagon decreased its spending. This long-term contract gives the company some much needed stability. Its stock declined by about 20% this year, but after it locked in this deal on Tuesday shares rose by 12%, reaching $43 apiece in after-hours trade. This upsurge erased over half of its 20% drop.

????The new design is lighter than the previous one produced by AM General, making it easier to transport by air. They will also provide superior protection against mines and roadside bombs, with greater range and durability to transport troops and gear.

????Oshkosh chief executive Charles Szews told the Journal that its role in the defense business “supports the whole infrastructure for the company,” making this “a historic win.”
