The UK Ministry of Defence is expected to publish a tender notice for the Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV) programme in the week beginning August 3, marking the start of a competitive procurement to replace the aging Land Rover and Pinzgauer utility fleets. The programme is budgeted at £750 million ($1 billion) excluding VAT, with vehicle trials planned between October 2026 and January 2027. The LMV is a key part of the wider Land Mobility Programme aimed at rationalizing maintenance by replacing multiple vehicle types with a common platform. Likely contenders include AM General, Chevrolet, Toyota/Babcock, Rheinmetall, Ineos, Thales, and Supacat. The programme is expected to run into the 2030s, reflecting the slow pace of UK defense procurement.
