Fuel service of French Armed Forces selects the Renault Trucks defense Sherpa Medium truck.
Late November 2011, Renault Trucks Defense (RTD) won the invitation for bids from SEA (Service des Essences des Armées - French Armed Forces Fuel Service) for the supply of an air-transportable multipurpose tactical tanker-truck ("CCPTA"). RTD's winning proposal was the Sherpa Medium truck.
The order comprises a firm batch for 30 vehicles and a conditional batch for 20 more. A qualification phase will be conducted in 2012 and the customer will take delivery of the first trucks in 2013.
The Sherpa Medium is already in service with the French Army, and is used as the carrier platform for the Caesar® artillery system, among other missions.
