Canada's $5 Billion Military Vehicle Contract Narrows to Two Canadian Bidders
Canada's nearly $5 billion program to supply new armored and unarmored land utility vehicles to its military has narrowed to two bidders, both Canadian companies. One finalist is Brampton-based Roshel, which has built a global reputation by exporting over 2,500 armored vehicles to Ukraine and other allies, but has never sold to the Canadian government. The other finalist is unnamed. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the shift to a Canadian-only procurement process, sidelining foreign competitors like AM General and Oshkosh Defence. The contract is part of Canada's broader push to meet NATO's 2% GDP defense spending target, alongside other recent deals including a $2 billion contract with General Dynamics for armored vehicles and an $800 million missile contract with Norway's Kongsberg. Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown highlighted the economic opportunity for the city's defense sector.
